How write files on sdcard using @capacitor/filesystem

Ionic Framework Ionic Angular

I need to create files on the sdcard and then access those files, but the write and read functions require the directory field, and that “directory” only requires an enum type with a few options. none of them are sdcard.

export declare enum Directory {
/**
* The Documents directory
* On iOS it’s the app’s documents directory.
* Use this directory to store user-generated content.
* On Android it’s the Public Documents folder, so it’s accessible from other apps.
* It’s not accesible on Android 10 unless the app enables legacy External Storage
* by adding android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true" in the application tag
* in the AndroidManifest.xml.
* It’s not accesible on Android 11 or newer.
*
* @since 1.0.0
/
Documents = “DOCUMENTS”,
/*
* The Data directory
* On iOS it will use the Documents directory.
* On Android it’s the directory holding application files.
* Files will be deleted when the application is uninstalled.
*
* @since 1.0.0
/
Data = “DATA”,
/*
* The Library directory
* On iOS it will use the Library directory.
* On Android it’s the directory holding application files.
* Files will be deleted when the application is uninstalled.
*
* @since 1.1.0
/
Library = “LIBRARY”,
/*
* The Cache directory
* Can be deleted in cases of low memory, so use this directory to write app-specific files
* that your app can re-create easily.
*
* @since 1.0.0
/
Cache = “CACHE”,
/*
* The external directory
* On iOS it will use the Documents directory
* On Android it’s the directory on the primary shared/external
* storage device where the application can place persistent files it owns.
* These files are internal to the applications, and not typically visible
* to the user as media.
* Files will be deleted when the application is uninstalled.
*
* @since 1.0.0
/
External = “EXTERNAL”,
/*
* The external storage directory
* On iOS it will use the Documents directory
* On Android it’s the primary shared/external storage directory.
* It’s not accesible on Android 10 unless the app enables legacy External Storage
* by adding android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true" in the application tag
* in the AndroidManifest.xml.
* It’s not accesible on Android 11 or newer.
*
* @since 1.0.0
*/
ExternalStorage = “EXTERNAL_STORAGE”
}

how can a access the sdcard using that plugin?

Thanks
