   Out of curiosity, have you tried using the[`Context#getExternalFilesDir(String)`](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Context#getExternalFilesDir(java.lang.String)), [`MediaStore`](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/MediaStore), or [`Intent#ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT`](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent#ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT)?
   
   The three options above were mentioned on the Android Docs as alternatives to **`getExternalStorageDirectory`**, as it was deprecated, and offer better performance.
   
   From Android Docs, regarding to `Context#getExternalFilesDir(String)`
   
   > This is like getFilesDir() in that these files will be deleted when the application is uninstalled, however there are some important differences:
   
   > * Shared storage may not always be available, since removable media can be ejected by the user. Media state can be checked using Environment#getExternalStorageState(File).
   > * There is no security enforced with these files. For example, any application holding Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE can write to these files.
