Permissions to read text files from sdcard

Hello Taifun!!
I am new to this forum, I have a huge problem, I used app inventor for years and I have created many applications that have been useful to me for my work including one that unfortunately after a few years I can no longer run due to the restrictions on access to the internal memory of android devices...
I'm sure with your help I can fix the problem.
I would need, through my application, to recover the contents of some text files (which were NOT generated by the application in question) present in the main memory /sdcard/folder
How can I access this directory?
I tried to request permissions with the file component but it does not work, I tried legacy, app,shared but nothing to do...
Is there a way to get around the problem?
I have an android version 14 ,one ui6.1
Thank you so much

Do you plan to publish your app in Google Play? If not, use the following extension to get full access
