Android 8 / 9 Location Permission Notice:

Please note: Android 8.0+ requires the "approximate location" permission for apps supporting Wi-Fi direct due to inherent location data leakage. FX File Explorer does not query your location; this permission is only requested on Android 8.0 and later when using FX Connect. This was previously required only for Android 9.0, but now extends to Android 8.0 due to full support for the latest Android API.
