I'm not having much luck with this. SpecialFolderPath("external documents") seems to point to the Android/data/<bundleID>/files folder. I thought I might be able to use a file browser to put files there so the app could see them, but Android 12 doesn't seem to allow copying files there.

Has anyone succeeded in importing files from a publicly-accessible location? Ideally I'd get access to the public Downloads folder.

I'm using mobileComposeMail to export a data file from an Android app. In spite of its name, it opens the generic Share panel and lets you choose where to put the file.

Now I want to import a file from an external source. Where does specialFolderPath("external documents") point to on Android? Is there another generic way to find a file in a public folder on the device?
