I find it funny that there's a bunch of people here who know how to use android's file system. Like, of course the Linux nerds figured out how to use it (and I love you all the more for it)
Don't you know? Users being told the exact location of a file is not user-friendly!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Literally exactly how it still works.
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.
