Is there a way to create app folders that user can access without MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE on Android?

My app reads users’ text files as input and do some stuff according to them. Currently it’s done by setting MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, but this permission is excessive as I don’t access anything else.

I’ve been searching on https://developer.android.com/training/data-storage but have yet to come up with any good ideas. Is there any suggested manner to do so? Thanks 🙂
