This will conflict with #143; please don't merge this one. This app needs that to suppress the operating system check.

Won't this result in the zoom directory being created in the (real) user's $HOME?

@WhyNotHugo I very much agree.

As far as I can tell, the only thing zoom needs in terms of static host filesystem acces is xdg-download:create, as zoom should be using xdg-desktop-portal's file chooser. Of course, since this is not the case, the only real solution at the moment is to simply deny zoom the ability to open files, and figure out a way to get the ~/Documents directory in the sandbox to point to the host's xdg-download directory, ideally in :create mode somehow.

If anyone really needs zoom to be able to handle uploading/downloading files in an even somewhat secure way, my advice is to switch to the web client and never look back.

Why does Zoom need full rw access to my home directory?
