Description
I often plug flash drives into my phone and use material files to copy files around, however it is irritating to have to manually add the flash drive, and then manually remove a broken shortcut when I remove the drive. Please add a setting to automatically mount and add a shortcut to flash drives when they are plugged in, and remove them when they are ejected or removed.
Thank you for your hard work on this amazing app!

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by tracing the existing manual storage-shortcut handling and the Android entry points for external storage attach and removal, then inspect where related settings are defined. Done means a setting automatically adds connected flash drives and removes their shortcuts when they are ejected or removed.
