Android 8 / 9 Location Permission Notice:
Please note, Android 8.0+ requires the "approximate location" permission for apps supporting Wi-Fi Direct due to its inherent location data leakage. Rest assured, FX File Explorer does not query your location, and this permission is only requested when using FX Connect on Android 8.0 and later.
