Is it possible to detect folder changes in Android? I mean detect when files are deleted or changed and know which application are doing these? In Windows you have system events for this, it's not necessary to permanently watch the files to detect changes. It's very important to know which application is doing the changes.

Every time a user accesses the selected file/folder, and changes the permission on it, an event log will be recorded in the Event Viewer. To view this audit log, go to the Event Viewer. Under Windows Logs, select Security. You can find all the audit logs in the middle pane as displayed below.
Locate the file or folder whose permission changes you wish to track. Right click on it and go to Properties. In the Security tab, click the Advanced button. In Advanced Security Settings for Active Directory window, go to Auditing tab, and click the Add button to add a new auditing entry.
On your Android 10 device, open the app drawer and tap the icon for Files. By default, the app displays your most recent files. Swipe down the screen to view all your recent files (Figure A). To see only specific types of files, tap one of the categories at the top, such as Images, Videos, Audio, or Documents.
