Answer 1

This permission is about accessing all the files. At first, the permission should be added to the AndroidManifest.xms.And then you can use the following code to request the permission. In addition, you can request the write and read external peimissoin and add them in the Manifest.xml.

 if (!Android.OS.Environment.IsExternalStorageManager)
             {
                 Intent intent = new Intent();
                 intent.SetAction(Android.Provider.Settings.ActionManageAppAllFilesAccessPermission);
                 Android.Net.Uri uri = Android.Net.Uri.FromParts("package", this.PackageName, null);
                 intent.SetData(uri);
                 StartActivity(intent);
             }
