#Google is stating security concerns as a reason for revoking the permission. This is hard to believe for us. #Nextcloud has had this feature since its inception in 2016, and we have never heard about any security concerns from Google about it. Moreover, several Big Tech apps as well as Google’s own still have this. What we think: Google owning the platform means they can and are giving themselves preferential treatment.
To make it crystal clear: All of you as users have a worse Nextcloud Files client because Google wanted that.
The more tech-savvy of you are certainly able to use the alternative app store, such as #F-Droid. But for our user base of roughly one million users on the #appstore, this will hardly be an option.
