Describe the desired feature Hello. I publised my app to play store.Its getting hits and users love my app.But there is a one star comments because my apps need WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE .Its sensitive permission.Users think if i grant permission this app acces my private files/images.

Why we need request this permission? Can we use app folder? Is it possible?

Discussion link.

Give an example of how this feature would be used We dont need ask user for this permiison and we get 5 star ratings with user trust

They dont need press grand permission notifier :)

Why doesn't the current App Inventor system address this use case? Permission policy updated with new Android versions and AI2 is not handle this permission correctly.

I think its possible.

Why is this feature beneficial to App Inventor's educational mission?

I think the stundets or users do not think too much about this permission request.Because they made it.But when they made a usefull app want share it with people on Google play or any other market its makes problem.Some users do not trust app.Like my app

I expect that we will probably move to App-private storage in the next API upgrade with legacy support for “external” storage as Google has removed global read write permissions in Android Q.
