Android file system is not as secure as iOS and so it is possible for malicious apps to gain access to other parts of the tablet. I mean, it’s unlikely that would happen, but I just want to mention that for anyone who plans to access their work data which could be confidential via the Boox Note tablet.

on the contrary! With by far most of the apps downloaded from Google play you can be sure that they contain trackers that will compromise confindentiality. Apart from tracking by google itself.
An appstore like f-droid focuses on more safe apps. Sideloading via yalp let's you at leat check for trackers.
