Bug Description

I can't access the phone filesystem using KDE Connect on Kubuntu Focal.

When I click on the phone icon in Dolphin sidebar Devices section, I see a small folder icon with a red lock symbol at its bottom right corner and the folder is named "Xperia L1 SD Card".
And when I click that folder I get the following error message:

"The file or folder /run/user/1000/f9ed0daa6ac5f8/Xperia L1 SD Card does not exist."

In deed, the folder "/run/user/1000/f9ed0daa6ac5f8" (also displaying a red lock symbol) is empty. When I look at its Properties/Permissins, it reads "This folder uses advanced permissions." followed by blank and locked dropdown boxes for Owner, Group, Others - but I can see my name in the Ownership section below for both Owner and Group. It is strange that both as the owner and as root I can't write there.

OS: Kubuntu 20.04 64-bit
Kernel: Linux 5.4.0-47-generic
Package: kdeconnect 1.4-0ubuntu5

I see the same.
It can access the internal storage OK, but not the SD card.

That may well be because KDE Connect hasn't asked (and obtained) access to it, either directly (if possible) or using the Storage Access Framework.

For me, the phone is on Android 10.
