after now looking at your video, it seems to be, your app is asking for MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission

for those who consider to use this extension let me suggest to first read this

How to request and grant MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission

In this guide I show you, how to request and grant → MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE on devices with Android 11+. Be aware that this permission is usually not granted by Google.
