Don't need ask permission for this. They do not exist for Android 13+ devices anymore. You have WRITE permission by default in all public directories on external storage. You can access all files without any permission.

You can no longer use WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission in Android 11+ if u want to access directories other than your app's private folder.

You can read more about it here -> https://developer.android.com/about/versions/11/privacy/storage

If u just need to read PDF's and images from the device, u don't need the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission. Just ask for READ_STORAGE_PERMISSION and u can read files as long as they are not in other app's private folders.
