All files access (have MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) permission:
With Android 11 a new permission was introduced that is required to access all files on the device.
For the app to work this permission is required.
Using more user friendly alteratives like the Media Store API unfortunately do not work, because the Media Store API only provides access to images and videos and not other file types.
The Storage access framework is not usable either because it has huge performance issues. Processing thousands of files can take up to hours, which only takes minutes using direce File API access.

❗Information regarding usage of android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE:

Processing all your files can take several minutes, even hours, depening on your device, amount of images or storage you are selecting.
To ensure all files are getting processed and the process is not getting interrupted, which could cause wrong results and media not showing in the gallery anymore, this permission is required to prevent the app getting killed by the system while your images are getting processed.

While the service is running a statusbar notification will be shown.
