The two I/O concepts are so different hat I had to rewrite user interface. You need to use the new Google provided file selector to get access to the files outside then app private directories.

Which, BTW, is quite a horrid user experience as the Google file selector uses mime types and doesn't allow the developer to easily define new mime types. It kind of works but badly.

Note that I prefer mime types over extensions ever since my OS/2 times but the way Google did it bings me no joy.

I noted that as well. Minds and Telegram too have full featured versions outside the play store. If Google continues the way it does many more will have to go that way.
