+<h3 id="ScopedDirAccess">Using Scoped Directory Access</h3>
+
+On Android 7.0 or later, if you need access to a specific directory on
+external storage, use scoped directory access. Scoped directory access
+simplifies how your application accesses standard external storage directories,
+such as the <code>Pictures</code> directory, and provides a simple
+permissions UI that clearly details what directory the application is
+requesting access to. For more details on scoped directory access, see
