'How to handle ScopedStorage and Media File Access

I am too dump to understand what the documentation tells us to use about ScopedStorage. My targetSdk is 31 and I just want to do so simple thing. I want to upload and download Images and Videos, Audio, .pdf files to my backend. I don't want to delete nor edit the files. After I tried so many tutorials, I don't understand clearly about Android's mandantary Scoped Storage from API 30+.

What permissions are really needed?
How to handle File access for below Android 10, for Android 10, for Android 10+ ?
Which scenario can I use for those?

Please help me.

The followings are my usecases. I use Retrofit, Okhttp for remote. I use ActivityResultContracts to get Camera and Gallery's content.

val galleryLauncher =
        rememberLauncherForActivityResult(contract = ActivityResultContracts.GetContent()) {
            it?.let { uri ->

                ...

            }
        }

I got uri but when I get File from that uri and cast to MultipartBody.Part and upload. There is an error (No such file or directory).

Please guide me.
