A content URI, like “Content://Cz.Mobilesoft.Appblock.Fileprovider/Cache/Blank.Html”, is different from a regular file path because it is managed by an app’s file provider. Storage is directly addressed by normal file paths, whereas content URIs are more secure and allow access-controlled files. The apps use the content URIs to eliminate the security-related risks and to provide an easier process of data transfer across devices. In brief, content URIs are more app-controlled, flexible, and safe as compared to the regular path of files, which is straightforward but not as safe.
