Hi, upgraded today to latest f-droid version and found this feature enabled.
When trying to save a file first time it say me I should select a folder and displays the android file/dir chooser with "Download" as current folder - however there is no button to "use this folder". I tried to click on the "Download" but no action. Only after I clicked on a subdir in the folder and navigated back did a big "use this folder" appear.

Otherwise I would recommend to implement a workaround like creating Download/SaveTo and offer this as initial selection so people aren't confused like me.
That is bizarre. So I can use the Download directory but to select it I need this funny workaround. Not a real access restriction but plain silly.
Would it work to use the Open Intents File manager to select a directory instead of this framework if it is installed? https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.openintents.filemanager/
No, I won't miss the Android 11 file chooser.

Sorry but no. SaveTo… is application with as reduce dangerous features as possible:
no Internet access
no STORAGE permissions
no logs
any file access possible only with user's confirmation
no files remove or replace ability
supports all latest Android's security features even if creates some inconveniences.
Sorry again.
