   With scoped storage, I believe you can write to external storage without any additional permissions. (`WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE` permission no longer provides anymore greater access) But not all external paths are writable (e.g. external root directory, generally `/storage/emulated/0/` will no longer be writable).
   
   You can also read files that your app created without any permissions. If you want to read files created by other apps, you'll need the `READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE` permission.
   
   Closing as a duplicate of https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file/issues/426
