Details about your operating system
Operating system: Linux Version/distribution: Fedora Silverblue 42
Version of Onionshare: 2.6.3
How did you install OnionShare
- Native Mac/Windows package
- Flatpak

- Pip (command line)

What is the problem
After attempting to share a file by dropping it into the app, it shows Flatpak sandbox warning.
Clicking "Ok" closes all windows and breaks the app. It cannot be opened anymore, neither by clicking on its icon in the app menu, nor by launching it from the terminal.
Steps to reproduce:
- Open OnionShare and click "Connect to Tor"
- Click "Start Sharing"
- From your file manager, drag and drop any file into the main window of the app
- Click "Ok" in the sandbox warning window
- (Optional) Reboot your PC
- Try to launch OnionShare
