<![CDATA[Download Location]]>When I try to set the Downloads folder on my SD card 'Download' folder, Opera tells me 'To protect my privacy, choose another folder.'
Why?
I was using the same folder for a different browser with no issues.
Is there a way to tell Opera to use this folder?

I'm trying to find out what are Opera's privacy concerns when I try to use this folder.

Opera likely has a security feature that blocks certain folders, like the "Download" folder on your SD card, to prevent potential privacy risks. It might be restricting access to certain locations for security reasons. You can try changing the folder to a different one or check operas privacy settings to see if theres an option to whitelist or allow that folder. It could also help to clear the browsers cache or reset its settings.
