How scoped storage is a solution to external storage drawbacks

• Scoped storage was a solution to the problem.
• Scoped storage is optional in android-10 but has become compulsory in android-11.
• Because of scoped storage, System knows which application has created which file and has a track of each file, Thus when an application is uninstalled all the files that it created are also un-installed.
• Every application has access to its directory in external storage and does not need a permission.

Modifying files in external storage created from other applications ?

• We can perform this action using createWriteRequest, createDeleteRequest and modify the files in the directory created by other applications in external storage
• But the catch here is, it requires the approval of the user.
