> Okay, clear. Based on what you wrote, i exported this text file to the application folder (file:///data/user/0/com.example.app/files/), then copied it to the general download folder of the device. Unfortunately when I try to read it (from the download folder) I get the error {code: 3, message: 'Filesystem permission was denied.'} This was all done using the same app on the same device? If so then that's strange... I've tested that kind of situation with a plain text file before and I'm pretty certain it has worked before for me. I don't interact with the external storage with my day job however... it is possible that I'm wrong. If it doesn't work using the Filesystem API, then you'll probably need to fallback to a media store plugin, unfortunately there isn't many options available in the community for that, [cordova-plugin-saf-mediastore](https://www.npmjs.com/package/cordova-plugin-saf-mediastore) seems to be the most maintained one, however it's license appears to forbid use without explicit permission. The mention of the plugin is also not an endorsement. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
