I can find files just fine on my Android phone, BUT when saving files on my iPad this meme would be true.

I was editing a document on my iPad, saved it in a folder labeled 'documents', searched with the files app and the document folder wasn't on my iPad or iCloud.

Come to find out the app itself made a folder named documents within itself. So in order to get it on my iPad itself i had to share the file to dropbox then redownload it ๐Ÿคจ

Home puter is a Mac which I only use for the Logic DAW but they have a primary app called Finder which has never found anything I asked for. Its a Finder that doesnt Find.

Yeah, developers can't access those folders without some super specific permissions, so most just use the dedicated app folder.

It's almost as if this is a computer architecture designed for idiots who don't know or care what a file is or for what purposes their data is being harvested. Everywhere I hear people falling over themselves to declare that the tablet smartphone was apple's golden gift to the world. Try to do any serious work on one, it's fucking annoying.

Whenever we make technology accessible to stupid people it becomes irritating to use and a privacy nightmare.

Don't you know? Users being told the exact location of a file is not user-friendly!

There are not files. There are only vibes. If your surf the vibe ocean well enough, you will find what you were looking for.

How is you not even aware of what a file system is LMAO ๐Ÿคฃ

I swear to God, how is it possible that people who can access the fediverse have such trouble finding a download folder.

It's like their brains fold instantly at the thought of searching through it.

"Hurr durr, where file"

In the downloads folder

My brother in Christ, please open the fucking file explorer

This is you, it's how you look like:

Android? you mean iphone maybe. i can directly access the file directory of Android both from an app or from my PC with a USB connection.

It used to be so much simpler. I remember having a Galaxy S3 and whenever I saved a file I knew exactly where it went. There was a file explorer built in, and downloads went to the downloads folder.

Is that not how it still works? When I download a file, it either goes straight to the Downloads folder, or to an app-specific subfolder within Downloads. And there's a Files app that lets you go through the file system (although I'm sure there are some system folders that aren't accessible without rooting). I don't think I've ever been confused about where a file is saved.

This is a real problem with young people coming into the office. They don't know how to navigate a file system. They've never had to do it.

No, it's a file system issue. It randomly makes folders and decides where to put things. A photo could be in the dcim folder, a photos folder on my outside card or a photos. It may or may not be in recents.
