   App-private storage is usually also not accessible via MTP/PTP or direct   
   file transfer via USB. Without having root access there are some other   
   options, depending on what "Notepad" supports:   
      
   - export the data to the internal shared storage   
      
   - share the data with an app which allows to send it somewhere else (for   
   example with Nextcloud you can upload shared data to your Nextcloud   
   server, which can also be self-hosted within your own network).
