FileProvider solves 50% of your needs, with some other on the counter free utilities files apps, the remaining 50% will be solved.

To improve compatibility, FileProvider is only really used on Android 7+ devices or when the external storage is not available. If you want to share files from File.DirInternal on older versions then change the Initialize sub of FileProvider to: Public Sub Initialize UseFileProvider = True
