I have, on my tablet (in Spanish):

main cog wheel (aka settings). -> Apps -> Special apps access -> all 
files access -> a list of apps appears.

Android 16.

On my Android 13 phone, that menu "Special apps access" does not exist. 
But going down the list, there is an entry with a similar wording.
