It seems like to store files in a shared directory on Android you'll 
need to use a plugin like 
https://www.npmjs.com/package/cordova-plugin-saf-mediastore instead. 
That plugin can ask the user for permission to read and write a 
directory, but it's not at all clear to me if there's a way to list the 
contents of a directory. Obviously it's possible using the native 
Android APIs, but I can't find anyone saying "here's how to manage a 
directory tree from within Cordova", even in the Cordova tech-support 
threads talking about handling files. :(

I appreciate not wanting to dive into yet another language, just to add 
a somewhat niche feature. Thank you for taking the time to respond!
