[QUESTION] Privacy file authorization cannot be disabled and blocks password database import #3208

Description

@Tryment9179

In the new MIUI system (HyperOS), privacy file authorization causes an issue when reading the password database. This privacy protection cannot be turned off. Even for files that are not in Android's critical folders (e.g., files under the Android directory), the system still enforces read-only restrictions.

When trying to access the password database, it shows a message that the file is read-only and suggests copying it to another folder.("The file you selected is read-only for Keepass2Android due to restrictions on Android 4.4+. To edit it, you must copy the file to another location. Tap OK to select a location where the file should be copied.")
However, attempting to create a copy fails with an error: "An error occured:
UnauthorizedAccess_IODenied_Path, /storage/emulated/0/Keepass//.kdbx". As a result, the password database cannot be imported properly.
