Remarks
Get a top-level shared/external storage directory for placing files of a particular type. This is where the user will typically place and manage their own files, so you should be careful about what you put here to ensure you don't erase their files or get in the way of their own organization.
On devices with multiple users (as described by

Here is an example of typical code to manipulate a picture on the public shared storage:
