I'm not having much luck with this. SpecialFolderPath("external documents") seems to point to
the Android/data/<bundleID>/files folder. I thought I might be able to use a file browser to
put files there so the app could see them, but Android 12 doesn't seem to allow copying files
there.
Has anyone succeeded in importing files from a publicly-accessible location? Ideally I'd get
access to the public Downloads folder.
