Allow app to store files in device files memory

Question

Hello,

Is there a way to authorize an application to save files in the Android phone's memory ?

We have an internally-developed application that requires files generated by it to be stored in the phone's memory. In order to retrieve them by USB file transfer to a computer.

The device is enrolled with a Corporate-owned devices with work profile.

Device configuration profile is set as Multi-app kiosk mode in Dedicated device enrollment profile type.

Many thanks in advance for your help.

@Chèvre, Lorin,Thanks for posting in Q&A.

From your description, I know that you want to authorize an app to save files in the Android device's memory.

Based on my researching, if you want an app save file in Android device's memory, it is dependent on device storage permission, here is an article you can refer.

Non-official, just for reference.

Moreover, if you want to manage the app via Intune, you can use app protection policy, however the app should be in the official list of Microsoft Intune protected apps or be integrated with the Intune SDK or wrapped by the Intune App Wrapping Tool.
