Footnote about this ... in my understanding initially Android allowed full 
access to save anywhere on the phone. Then that was withdrawn for security 
reasons. The it was re-allowed from version 6 provided you followed a 
specific procedure. (though some apps., like file browsers and cameras can 
have elevated privileges without that).

I think there is a terminology problem in that both the methods and 
descriptions have changed over Android versions.

Here is an example: You can slide in an "external" SD card (on Andriod 
8.0.0) and it shows in settings as "Portable Storage" by default. But you 
"format" it either so it can remain removable or format it as "internal 
storage." In the latter case is gets more integrated into the system and is 
easier to save to but can no longer be plugged into another system.

In my specific setup I have a "plugin SD" that is not formatted for 
"internal storage." The phone has enough storage I don't need to convert 
it. In Quinoid I can load TW from the Plugin Storage but not save to it.

My explanation leaves out many subtleties (performance; methods) but I 
think gets over there are user configuration issues in play for Quinoid of 
Android setup that are not that transparent.

FWIW, I found this article useful to read:
