kDrive app lock doesn't prevent access from "Files" app #1865

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Even when enabling app lock to require authentication to access files from the app, the system Files app can access kDrive files without any additional authentication.

Describe the solution you'd like
Ideally, the kDrive app would trigger an authentication when attempting to access its files through the Files app, but I suppose that might not be possible, so instead, it could return a single file of type URL, which will redirect the user to kDrive for authentication, then back to Files for 5 minutes of access (a native OAuth2-looking intent based authentication, if you will).

Describe alternatives you've considered
At minimum, a less practical implementation would be, in kDrive settings, to have a Allow Files app access setting that can be Never, For 5 minutes, For 1 hour or Forever.
