   > Why isn't it practical? Scoped storage did add some restrictions, such as making the external root directory (either sdcard or emulated) an non-writable path, but apps can still write to the predefined folders such as external Pictures, Audio, etc.
   > 
   > You can also read files from external storage that was written by the app. Reading files written by other apps still requires the `READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE` permission, which cordova-plugin-file handles.
   
   I created a new plugin simply because that's faster to do, https://github.com/customautosys/cordova-plugin-saf-mediastore
   
   I think we should consider making Mediastore / SAF a core part of Cordova Android. It really is the way forward for file saving on Android.
