Hello Peter,

I hope you won't skim through and ignore this request.

I’ve been an avid user of the Shelter app, and I’d like to propose a
crucial enhancement: adding support for external storage, specifically
SD cards. Allow me to explain why this feature is paramount and how it
can benefit users.

# Storage Flexibility

Many Android devices come with limited internal storage. By enabling
Shelter to utilize external SD cards, users can expand their storage
capacity effortlessly.
With the ability to install apps within Shelter on an SD card, users
won’t feel constrained by internal space limitations.

# Privacy and Isolation

Shelter’s primary strength lies in its work profile isolation.
However, without external storage support, users are still bound by
the internal storage of their device. By allowing Shelter to use SD
cards, users can keep sensitive data separate from their primary
profile while enjoying the benefits of additional storage.

# Reduced Internal Clutter

As more apps are installed within Shelter, internal storage can become
cluttered. This affects overall device performance. Allowing Shelter
to utilize SD cards ensures that app data remains organized and
doesn’t impact the main system’s storage.

# User Scenarios

1. Privacy-conscious users who rely on Shelter would appreciate the
option to store app data securely on an external card.
2. Users with budget phones or older devices can benefit significantly
from offloading Shelter data to an SD card.

# Implementation Considerations

1. A straightforward toggle within Shelter settings to choose external
storage would enhance usability.

In summary, adding external storage support to Shelter would elevate
the app’s functionality, improve user experience, and address
practical storage challenges. I believe this feature aligns perfectly
with Shelter’s mission of providing a secure and isolated environment
for apps.

Thank you for considering this request. I look forward to seeing Shelter evolve.

Creating a more user-friendly option for feedback, bug reports, and
feature requests is a great idea. How about a dedicated Telegram
channel or a Discord server? Or maybe even returning to a GitHub repo,
you can see the mountain of issues waiting there like a digital
Everest, no pun intended.
