How to save file to external directory (sdcard) on android?

Expo SDK
#1

I need save files to sdcard but can’t find any solutions with Expo.

FileSystem have only documentDirectory and cacheDirectory, haven’t got something like sharedDirectory, externalDirectory or sdcardDirectory.

I also try to save a file at “file:///sdcard/foo/bar” but not successful.

I would like to be able to write to / read from a SD card, without having to detach from expo.
