As the title says.
Sadly currently when you upgrade your app to target API 30, and have to use MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, it's not auto-granted (when storage permission was granted to reach all files).

And the user can set it to reach only media files, too.

Please offer an API to check if the legacy storage permission is granted to all files.

@4 Seems it returns a boolean value.
How does it work when the option for users is of 3 options: disabled, all-access, media-only?

See attached.

Remember that the new storage permission is of "all-access" type. Not media-only.

I suggest to update the docs because it's unclear what it does according to these options.
Also, if indeed it's as I wrote (meaning no way to check it out), please add API (and have it on support library too) to check it out.
