Android 8 / 9 Location Permission Notice:

Please note that Android 8.0+ requires the "approximate location" permission due to Wi-Fi direct support, which leaks this information. Rest assured, FX File Explorer does not query your location, and this permission is only requested on Android 8.0 and later when using FX Connect. Previously, this was limited to Android 9.0, but now applies to Android 8.0 as well due to full support for the latest Android API.
