Nextcloud, a self-hosted cloud platform, reports that Google Play Store has finally restored full file upload functionality to its Android app after months of restrictions. Google initially rejected an update enabling full file access, citing privacy concerns, despite Nextcloud maintaining it had always possessed these permissions. A test release is expected soon, with a full update anticipated early next week. Nextcloud criticized Google's actions, stating users experienced degraded functionality due to Google's decision.
