Our app’s core feature is opening, editing, and saving PDF and document files located on the user’s device (e.g., Downloads, Documents, WhatsApp, or course folders).
The MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission is required to let users freely choose and modify their own study notes and documents anywhere on the device. We do not collect, upload, or share any user files — all operations occur locally within the app.
Using the Storage Access Framework alone would restrict these editing features, so All Files Access is essential for full functionality.
