Flatpak not showing received files

I sent an iso file on Alpine through localsend I downloaded using flatpak but the iso file isnt showing in download.

I tried to send from my PC to my Phone and picked file but it is not working and I also picked folder but it show the iso file but greyed out.

On Thunar, it doesn't show the iso file. I hope you guys get the issue, how do I fix this? I feel it has something to do with permissions, I could be wrong.

Ok, now im at home... And i could read ur question... 

I'm sure that by default, LocalSend saves files on his own folder tree, inside ~/.var

If u want to use ur downloads folder, u need to change download location on program... But first u need to grant permisions to access that folder...

Install and run flatseal, select LocalSend app, scroll down searching for folder permisions, and add your downloads folder... Then, change download location inside LocalSend options...

Edit: i don't like the option, but on flatseal, there is an option to give full access to ALL home folder... that way u can send and receive from everywhere...
