⚠️ The application require MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission:
- It is used to automatically detect a connected USB drive and write video recordings to a specific, user-expected folder path (/DashCam/Videos/).
- This permission is critical because a dashcam must operate seamlessly without user interaction after initial setup.
- Alternatives like MediaStore API are not suitable as the video destination directory is not user-friendly and heavily nested.
- Our use of this permission is limited solely to managing video files within this designated dashcam folder.
