Import file on Android

[J. Landman Gay]

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.
