Hello, `android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true"` works when targeting API 29. This won't work when targeting API 30, as API 30 ignores the `android:requestLegacyExternalStorage` attribute. According to the [Android documentation](https://developer.android.com/training/data-storage/use-cases#opt-out-in-production-app) : _After you update your app to target Android 11 (API level 30), the system ignores the requestLegacyExternalStorage attribute when your app is running on Android 11 devices, so your app must be ready to support scoped storage and to migrate app data for users on those devices._ You can see this [issue]https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file/issues/426#issuecomment-756757287) for more information I'm facing the same problem, I want to download files in the Download folder without adding `MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE` permissions on Android 11. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
