yes, insofar environment.getexternalstoragedirectory(). equivalent of saying "i going write c: drive" on windows. dominant approach in 1996, came our senses , stopped cluttering root of drive files.

a middle ground option put file in 1 of environment.getexternalstoragepublicdirectory() locations, such directory_downloads (if minsdkversion 8 or higher) or directory_documents (if minsdkversion 19 or higher).
