Permission denied even though I own it and permissions are 777
I'm on Android using Termux and copied a file from my sdcard to my Termux home folder. (I use a file explorer app with root permissions for that..)
Now having the file in my home dir I checked what my user name and groups are and set me as the owner of that file and also set permissions to 777.
$ whoami

$ groups
u0_a87
$ su -c chown u0_a87:u0_a87 Files.zip
$ su -c chmod 777 Files.zip
$ ls -la

unzip: can't open Files.zip[.zip]
$ cat Files.zip

Why is it that I can still not access it?
This worked just fine btw:

What am I missing, how can I get access to that file from my user account without using su/sudo etc?
I also tried to find out if there are any extended attributes on that file. According to the internet ls -l would have shown me that there are extended attributes with a + character (e.g. -rwxrwxrwx+). As you can see above this was not the case. Just to be sure, I also checked using the attr command:
$ attr -l ./Files.zip
Attribute "selinux" has a 28 byte value for ./Files.zip
$ attr -g selinux ./Files.zip
attr_get: No data available
Could not get "selinux" for ./Files.zip
$ su -c attr -l ./Files.zip
sush: attr: not found
$ su -c attr -g selinux ./Files.zip
sush: attr: not found
The results were unclear to me. I don't understand why it tells me there is an "selinux" attribute, but then refuses to give me the value and then when I try with su -c it does't even list the "selinux" attribute, not to mention that getting the value fails.

I'm had the exact same problem. While I don't understand what exactly is happening here, the workaround is to not use a separate file explorer to copy the files. Instead make sure that termux has the relevant android permissions (settings -> apps -> permissions; and/or execute termux-setup-storage).
In your termux home folder should be another folder called storage, which symlinks to your sdcard.
