Description

Hi

just saw your nice project and made some test. It is only possible to access the app directory and external storage on the internal sd storage (memory)

But it is not possible to access removable media like an external storage sd card ?

I think this is only possible with Scoped Directory Access ? I tried to figure this out but i do not have a real solution yet.

maybe you could add these features to access removable storage too ? its possible since api 24 i guess

greets

frank

Research direction

Review the library's Android storage access implementation and the issue's reference to Scoped Directory Access on API 24+. Determine how removable SD cards are exposed and what permission flow is required. Done means the library can access removable external SD media in addition to internal app and shared storage.
