Here is an extension to get the ASD (path of app specific directory) which is becoming more and more important on Android 10 and above.

Thank you so much for this extension.

I've been stuck attempting to specify the "file" in the 'Sharing block'.

I know that in previous posts it's been pointed out that using the block "when ....AfterFileSaved" doesn't provide a file path for Sharing, but does provide a path for "call ...ReadFrom" ??

For anyone who is interested, here is the solution using your extension
