Upto android ver.9 No permission is needed, and it’s the folder >>>>> /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/<app_name>/files/

No. Storage permissions for the ASD are only needed on Android versions < 4.4 (< API 19, KitKat).

@eAcademy

Android 11 has storage rules strict. Apps can’t easily write to shared places (like Downloads) without asking the user

No, you can of course write to one of the shared folders on Android 11+ without permission or user interaction.

@eAcademy

Simply drop the sharing component it will include Read_storgae permission, in blocks ask for Write_External storage permission, read and write storage permission is required

No, only on Android < 4.4 (API 19).
