OsmAnd still has the storage permission among its permissions list.Required for all Android applications , so wait for their next releases…
Kurviger app no longer requires / needs the storage permission.storage access framework to access the storage.
App folders are not intended for users to put custom files.

# 🐞 bug report
### Description
I recently upgraded my Pixel 3a to Android … 11. Yesterday I recorded my track during a race, and today noticed that I cannot access it anymore from the file browser app, or share it from my usual messaging app. The `Android/data` directory is empty.
The reason for this is that Android 11 changed some storage APIs (including scoped storage). See https://developer.android.com/about/versions/11/privacy/storage for details. With Android 11 being released, a lot more devices will upgrade over the next few days/weeks, rendering GPS recordings inaccessible. (This is a feature that I used almost every day.)
I see two ways to properly fix this: Either move the storage directory to something outside the scoped storage (e.g. `~/Downloads/osmand/`) and/or offer a way to export GPX files to a user-defined directory.
(Workaround: I noticed that with *some* apps like Firefox I can still access the directory. This might be due to the Target API of the app accessing the data directory, I guess Firefox might set the `requestLegacyExternalStorage` flag.)
## 🔬 Minimal Reproduction
1. Using the "Trip recording" plugin, record a trace, then save it to storage.
2. Using any file browsing app, try to find the file on the file system (usually `Android/data/net.osmand...`). On Android 11, the directory is not visible.
