Dear Maintainer,

When using "Browse this device"

It opens a file browser at:
/run/user/1000/MAGICNUMBER/
where it maybe should be
/run/user/1000/MAGICNUMBER/storage/emulated/0


/run/user/1000/MAGICNUMBER/ is empty due to Permission denied
same with
/run/user/1000/MAGICNUMBER/storage/
and
/run/user/1000/MAGICNUMBER/storage/emulated/

however
/run/user/1000/MAGICNUMBER/storage/emulated/0
is accessible

So the workaround is to add "storage/emulated/0" to the path.
