USB Files Manager	Read/write files on the USB device via SAF.

cordova-plugin-usbfilesmanager

This plugin implements a File API allowing read/write access to files residing on the USB device via SAF.

This plugin defines global cordova.plugins.USBFilesManager object.

Although in the global scope, it is not available until after the this.platform.ready() event.

this.platform.ready().then(() => {
    if (cordova.plugins['USBFilesManager']) {
        cordova.plugins['USBFilesManager'].saveFileToUSB(FILE_NAME, res => {}, err => {});
        cordova.plugins['USBFilesManager'].getFilesFromUSB(res => {}, err => {});
        cordova.plugins['USBFilesManager'].getFilesFromUSBByUri(URI, res => {}, err => {});
        cordova.plugins['USBFilesManager'].copyFileFromUSB(URI, FILE_NAME, res => {}, err => {});
    }
});
