Research direction

Start by checking how Cryptomator exposes vault files to Android's file manager and whether that path is compatible with Samsung's default file manager. The report gives Android 16 and Cryptomator 3.0.0 beta1, but no reproduction steps or logs; first try reproducing on a Samsung tablet. Done when the vault and its files are visible in the Samsung file manager.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Please agree to the following
Summary

I downloaded the beta in an Samsung tablet but the vault nor the files can be accessed from the file manager. New addition. Also downloaded the beta on a S22 Ultra and the vault cannot be accessed from the Samsung file manager.
I could see the vault in the file manager embeded on keepassdx so I assume samsung file manager is not the rigth file manager.
