   > Hello, I was facing a similar problem, when I needed to read a file from the storage of an Android device, the plugin returns null in the contents of the file.
   > 
   > The reason for this is the "partial" permission implemented in Android 11, although the user gives the storage permission this always stays in "only multimedia content".
   > 
   > So what I did was send the user to the settings section of the app and tell them to change the storage permission to "allow access to all files".
   > And with that change I was already able to read the files in any directory on the device on Android 11.
   > 
   > Note:
   > You need to implement this in your config.xml for the storage permission to work well on Android 11
   > ` <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />`

   > I hope and this will help you.
   
   Unfortunately this is not working for me!
   I try to write  a file from a html input tag. This is working with eg files from the Downloads-Folder. But it is not working with files from google drive. Setting the permission to accal all files  ("android.permission.MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE") does not change this behaviour. I get this error message:
   `DOMException: The requested file could not be read, typically due to permission problems that have occurred after a reference to a file was acquired.`
