What is Android 14 storage access issue? How to resolve it on your Pixel phone

Google Pixel phone users have been dealing with a strange storage access issue after the Android 14 upgrade. Eventually, the version restricted them from using stored files and data on the device. On the flip side, it hampered the multiple user profiles capability.
