SD card access for third party apps

 

Hi all,

At the moment, only core apps (and system apps) are authorized to
access the SD card.
This has been debated a lot in the past, but it's surely a big
limitation for those apps which would be forced to store a large
amount of data in the internal storage (I'm using my Ubuntu Phone for
recording audio tracks of my lessons, it's >160MB of OGG audio in a
single day).

Is there any plan to extend the current AppArmor policy, and register
e.g. '/media/*/*/Ubuntu Apps/<app_id>' (or something similar) as
writable location for storage, keeping the other folders in the SD
card confined?

Cheers,
Stefano
