   Hi Sonja @sorojas-technisys ,
   as far as I remember, starting with Android 13 the app is not allowed to 
write to externalRootDirectory. There are specific directories where could be 
files written by Media providers.
   
   If you want to use externalRootDirectory, as I wrote before, if  
`MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE` is allowed, the app is able manage 
externalRootDirectory. 
   And so all the `READ_MEDIA_*` have to be allowed because of FilePlugin 
requires it however it is not necessary from the Android point of view if 
MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE is allowed.
   
   As was mentioned by breautek, Google can block app with this 
MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permissions requirement if to be provided in Play 
store. For me this is not problem as our app is used in enterprise internally.
