As an Android user, my understanding is that apps can ask the user for a 
a shared directory to store their stuff in[1] and then read and write 
arbitrary files within that directory. If this option were available, I 
could point any SWORD apps to the same directory, and they would share 
modules. Personally, I would point apps to a subdirectory of my 
SyncThing directory, taking care of the cloud-sync problem too.
