Insular, a FLOSS fork of Island, allows you to isolate privacy invading Android apps and prevent them from running when you don't want them too. (f-droid.org)

I know it's going to sound funny, but I, personally, *want* it to be annoying. If it's comfortable, I might do it way more.

Not exactly a solution to your problem, but it works.

For links, you can use UntrackMe, then switch between the accounts. UntrackMe real purpose is to redirect you to websites' FOSS frontends (YouTube to Invidious, Reddit to Teddit, Twitter to Nitter, etc.).

There is probably better app for this, if you don't like the redirects. But if you're going the way of Shelter/Insular, it's a good practice.

For files, if you have rooted phone, you can use Material Files.

If not, you can move files with Files by Google.

Yeah I get you.

For me I had all social media apps in Insular but then I'd google a picture for example, which was not in insular and then sharing with a social media app was painful. First world problems I know.
