I found a solution, you could use the manual path sdcard/Android/data/net.osmand.plus/files, which is working fine for me after updating to the latest LOS build.

### Description
After a recent Android update, OSMAnd can no longer access any … files on an external storage SD Card. When attempting to migrate, or when attempting to setup for the first time, external storage or multiuser storage options don't have any size of available space listed, and manually selecting a folder on the SD Card doesn't work, even if it's outside protected folders like Android/data.
I have attempted switching to a brand new in package SD Card, formatting as portable storage, and using that, but it did not work. Using an SD Card as an Android only card is not an option for me.
### How to reproduce?
1. Upgrade to latest Android 11 build for specific device
2. Open OSMAnd
3. Go through migration or setup process. You can only select internal storage.
### Your Environment
OsmAnd Version: 4.1.11 F-Droid build
Device model: Moto G7 Power
Android/iOS version: Android 11, lineageos-18.1-20220423-NIGHTLY-ocean, (April 5 2022 security patch, kernel 4.9.206-perf+)
**Maps used (online or offline):**
World basemap, but it's not strictly related to any used maps. Even with a blank setup, no downloaded maps or overworld map, this issue is present.

I think [this commit](https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/android_packages_providers_MediaProvider/+/328228/) may be the culprit. I'm not an Android dev so I don't understand the specifics of this.
Should be noted there were no issues with permissions or external storage access with builds before this commit, so the April 2nd or 9th builds work fine.
Thanks!
