I'm a little confused on this one. I was thinking the internet activity data might be useful, but I'm not sure how that would help determine the file creation date. The metadata option seems like the safest bet, but I want to make sure I'm not missing something.

The metadata is definitely the way to go here. That's where you'll find all the key details about a file, including the creation date. Easy peasy!

I'm a bit confused here. Is the category part of a flow policy? That could also be a possible reason for the issue.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. We want to share the database, but can't store sensitive info on external storage. So we need a secure way to share the data... I'm going to go with Content Provider.
