What’s new in shared storage

" summary

Android Q narrows storage access: apps can write images, audio, and video into MediaStore without the storage runtime permission but need it to read others’ contributions, files can be inserted with an Is Pending flag to hide unfinished items, developers can set Relative Path and choose volumes via GetExternalVolumeNames, location EXIF is redacted unless the app declares Access Media Location, and targeting Q enables Scoped Storage (legacy opt-out is temporary).
