We should inform the users:

  • The driving force is privacy
  • Uninstalling before migration will disable preserveLegacyExternalStorage and they will need to perform a manual migration
    • Just tell them not to uninstall
  • Syncing will temporarily be disabled
  • Uninstalling during the process may cause data loss
  • Uninstalling after the process will delete all data instead of just settings
  • How long this will take

We should obtain explicit consent:

  • Since we are moving files, this puts data itegrity at (low) risk
  • To reduce issues from users uninstalling

We may inform users:

  • Syncing and importing will be much faster
  • The new location of storage
  • USB access only

We do this via a link to https://github.com/ankidroid/Anki-Android/wiki/Storage-Migration-FAQ
