For the record, this has been discussed in the past and we've decided to not implement this for various reasons (primarily for security).

Allow shared storage between apps

If a developer has multiple apps or a suite of apps, it would be interesting if there could be shared storage. For example, a widget could read from data written by a related app to display summary info, last activity info, etc.

This is a somewhat regular request, so I thought it would be nice to list it here. :)

    I'm not sure how can I trust Garmin developers if they can not overcome "various reasons" and not implement this.
    The security issues can be fixxed be simply protect the share storage by the chosen key of the dev, so only the dev can share the storage between his/her apps. If you (the Garmin developers) have other issues that I'm missing, just let the community know, I believe they will have better solutions.
