Our app, SKYGREEN, is built on the Open Data Kit (ODK) framework and is specifically designed to empower users with comprehensive data collection and management capabilities. The "Manage External Storage" permission is an integral part of our app's core functionality, ensuring a seamless and efficient experience for users engaged in data collection and analysis tasks. We would like to provide a clear justification for the necessity of this permission in the context of our app's features and user experience.
Data Collection: Our app allows users to gather diverse forms of data, ranging from surveys and assessments to multimedia content. Many of our users operate in environments where internet connectivity is limited or unreliable. The "Manage External Storage" permission is essential for enabling users to store collected data directly on external storage media, such as SD cards or USB drives. This facilitates uninterrupted data collection and prevents data loss in areas with unpredictable connectivity.
Field Work: Our user base often engages in fieldwork, where they rely on external storage to store collected data while moving between locations. By utilizing the "Manage External Storage" permission, our app can offer a streamlined workflow, allowing users to access, update, and manage data directly from external storage sources, contributing to enhanced efficiency and productivity.
Media Management: The "Manage External Storage" permission is particularly crucial for users who collect multimedia content as part of their data collection efforts. This permission enables our app to efficiently organize photos, videos, and audio files on external storage devices, allowing users to maintain a structured dataset while optimizing their device's internal storage.
The "Manage External Storage" permission significantly enhances the user experience within our app by:
Data Redundancy: Allowing users to store data on external storage provides an additional layer of data redundancy, safeguarding against potential device failures or app crashes.
Flexibility: Users can seamlessly switch between devices while retaining access to their collected data, as it's stored on removable storage media.
Optimized Storage: The permission contributes to optimizing device storage by enabling users to allocate larger datasets to external storage, preventing device slowdowns due to limited internal space.
We understand the paramount importance of user privacy and data security. Our app uses the "Manage External Storage" permission solely for the purposes of enabling efficient data collection, storage, and management. We do not access or transmit any user data stored on external storage without explicit user consent. Data security measures are implemented to ensure that collected data remains confidential and protected against unauthorized access.
In conclusion, the "Manage External Storage" permission is an indispensable component of our app's core functionality. It empowers our users to collect and manage data efficiently, especially in resource-constrained environments. We believe that this permission aligns with our app's primary purpose and significantly enhances the user experience. We respectfully request the consideration of this justification for the successful review and publication of our app on the Google Play Store.
