I just installed, could add my account, browse the files, now I'm trying to get a file onto the device. It's a public ssh key (.pub). But when I tap on the "Download" button, nothing happens

device:pinephone
os build: 2020-09-18
app: 0.9.6

EDIT - there is no evidence of data theft.

It seems fredl has hard coded himself into the destination address for all download and view operations -lol - or else this is a malicous hack to steal data?

What makes you think that, other than the package name (me.fredl.ghostcloud) being in there which clearly is to adhere to the sandbox restrictions?
I'm waiting to unload my anger about bogus claims like those when you respond, unless you come to your senses.

"Download" is just to store the file inside of the sandbox directory. I see it doesn't make sense outside of SailfishOS where sandbox restrictions are/were not in place at all and stored copies in the home directory's Download & Document folders. What you want is, if there's no app which can handle the file type, to change to the directory manually and copy the file out using the File Manager or Terminal.

My applogies. I hv edited the post. I repeat here: there is no evidence of a hack. Futhermore I love the app too.

I hv a further dumb question: is it feasible to change the Sandbox directory to ~/Downloads/ in a portable way when the OS conditions allow?

EDIT:
Armed with fredl's above explanation I was able to symlink ~/.cache/me.fredl.ghostcloud/GhostCloud to ~/Downloads/GhostCloud
Now all my downloads appear where they are expected. Hope this helps.
So

  1. cd ~/Downloads
  2. ln -s ../.cache/me.fredl.ghostcloud/GhostCloud

Good to go. All ur stuff shall appear.
