Accessing the filesystem

What's the recommended approach for an Ionic+Capacitor app to access the filesystem via Electron?

There's a couple of options:

1. Ionic's File plugin: https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/file
2. Capacitor's Filesystem plugin: https://capacitorjs.com/docs/apis/filesystem

But none of them allow me to access for example my home directory `~`.

With pure Electron I can just use `fs` but that's not an option here as I'd like it to work with Android as well.

A recommended approach and perhaps a code example would be really appreciated as the current docs are only focused on iOS and Android for these plugins.
