   Here is my case :
   
   I have an app in production that actually :
   - target API29, with android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true"
   - and use :
   1) cordova.file.externalRootDirectory 
   2) file path to external card, if the external card exits, via cordova.plugins.diagnostic.getExternalSdCardDetails
   
   According to my tests, with a device using Android 11 (API 30) and android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="false" in AndroidManifest.xml
   - I can read an existing file
   - but can't create a new one
   
   To support the changes requested by Google, I'm planning to :
   - check if access to external is actually granted via cordova.plugins.diagnostic.requestExternalStorageAuthorization
   and then :
   - copy user existing files (as far as i can read them) to cordova.file.dataDirectory
   - delete existing files (if possible, not tested)
   - put a variable in localstorage, so that the app use cordova.file.dataDirectory for the next starts.
   
   If it is a fresh install, I would use only cordova.file.dataDirectory for storing the new files.
   
   But i'm stuck for the access to external card.
   Is there a way to get a path to a folder in external card, even if that path is acceded only by my application ?
   
   What is strange is that the path returned by getExternalSdCardDetails seems to use a sandboxed folder :
   file:///storage/0123-4567/Android/data/com.mycompany.myapp/files/
