I guess this will need a pretty porous sandbox :stuck_out_tongue:

Nautilus uses

    "finish-args": [
        "--share=ipc", "--socket=x11",
        "--socket=wayland",
        "--talk-name=org.gnome.OnlineAccounts",
        "--talk-name=org.freedesktop.Tracker1",
        "--filesystem=host",
        "--talk-name=org.gtk.vfs", "--talk-name=org.gtk.vfs.*",
        "--talk-name=ca.desrt.dconf", "--env=DCONF_USER_CONFIG_DIR=.config/dconf"
    ],

But Dolphin has more restrictive access to the filesystem for some reason

    "finish-args": [ "--device=dri",
                     "--share=ipc",
                     "--share=network",
                     "--socket=x11",
                     "--socket=wayland",
                     "--filesystem=home",
                     "--filesystem=/run/media",
                     "--talk-name=org.kde.kiod5",
                     "--talk-name=org.kde.JobViewServer",
                     "--talk-name=org.kde.kpasswdserver",
                     "--system-talk-name=org.freedesktop.UDisks2" ],

I tend to prefer the dolphin implementation over nautilus here

Yeah, well we don't really get a choice 😛

Dolphin's seems more restrictive because it uses the KIO bus. KIO is a daemon which essentially provides a file manager backend and Dolphin is just the user interface to that.

In theory, you can do that to some extent with gvfs, but I don't find it particularly weird that a file manager would ask for permissions to access the entire filesystem.
