Just for specific files. Google doesn't allow broad media permissions anymore.

I thought that's what all file access was?

Yes, but they are now forcing apps to not use those things anymore. They want apps to ask for specific permissions for each file they want to access. That's what the new permission system does. There is no broad file access anymore.

I still see apps using them & haven't seen one that does stop all of a sudden.

We already do READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE. The others are old and don't exist anymore.

From what I read they are needed to make it work. Test it out?
