'In Android Q, "Scoped Storage" is the idea of limiting storage access as much as possible, even for apps that need access to storage. Each app gets its own "isolated storage sandbox" on a device, and this private chunk of storage requires no permissions for its owner app to read and write to. Access to shared data still requires permissions, but instead of a single "all storage" permission, access is now broken down into four collections: "Photos," "Videos," "Music," and "Downloads." Photo Exif data can include the GPS location of where a photo was taken, so to prevent the user's location from leaking via the photos permission, there's also a new "Access media location" permission.'
