Dear all,

I have a permission issue in MacOS with the reminders app. On iOS I am used to link files via

Code:
shareddocuments:///private/var/mobile/Containers/Shared/AppGroup/56213729-8403-4743-A30D-F2528E6D7D26/File%20Provider%20Storage/...

to access directly files in the files app (i.e., adding the above path to the url field). The corresponding command on MacOS would be something like

Code:
file:///Users/fnsroot/Downloads/user_unsubscribe_12408864.xls

However, while the link "works", Finder gives me the following message

"The App "Reminders" has no permission to open "Downloads"".

1) In the security settings reminders has full access to the harddisk.
2) sudo did not help either
3) general access permission (i.e., shared folder) was also unsuccessful.

Any idea what I could try?

Thank you!
