No, apps usually only use private storage which is not accessible for
other apps at all for security reasons.

On basic concept in Android is to share data with other apps using the
"share" feature of the app. The target can by *any* other apps which
registered itself as target for sharing actions.
Cx File Explorer can also be used for that
().
1) Open "Notepad"
2) See if "Notepad" has a "share" feature - if yes, continue
3) Install Cx File Explorer
4) In "Notepad" use "share" to share a file with another app
5) Select "Cx File Explorer" as target for the share action
6) In "Cx File Explorer" save the shared data as file in the shared storage
When exported everything as needed, you can then use USB to copy the
files from the internal storage to your PC.
Cx File Explorer also supports direct access to Windows shares, so if
you create a shared folder on your PC you can access this with Cx File
Explorer as well when the phone is connected to the same network via WiFi.
