Android rule

Android's file structure is so incomprehensible. I'm genuinely surprised there hasn't been any significant effort made to make it more readable. Pictures saved in app directories, downloads, camera, images, pictures, media, DCIM???.

Android's file structure is bad, yes. But does iOS even have a file structure? In my very limited time using iOS, I couldn't find anything resembling a file explorer.

Files are soo outdated. The user should not have to worry about "Files". What even is a " Directory"? Your nudes are on some guys computer in california but the world is in your hand. there is an app for everything, just use the apps, go with the flow, look at lots of ads, buy a tesla, tell your dirty secrets to google bard — everything is intuitive...

Download completed..

Files>downloads>empty 😔

and where exactly is it saved?

On your phone, silly.

Yeah...I don't have any issues with file management on Android. There's a folder structure and that's all I really need. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Also applies to the Snap version of Firefox.

And you can't rename it and search for it afterwords. It makes that much frustrating to find

Please someone tell me why androids filesystem structure is so damn confusing, I've wondered this forever but have never looked it up

IOS is worse. You can't even be sure that it's saved, let alone where.

Some forced Google bloat ware snatched it and ran

Still can't find 90% of the images i've downloaded, probably will factory reset my phone and them to still take up space.

It seems a lot of people are having issues with this, I've never experienced a problem though

My files app always shows it in my recents view so idk

Credit where it’s due, iOS / iPadOS’s Files app is really good. I use both iOS and Android on the daily and I prefer working with files on my Apple devices.

Oh My God.

This needs fixing. It's infuriating at times

I feel the same way about the macbook I am forced to use by work. I just want my windows back

iOS stores it in “downloads”

Oh right, Apple bad!

Pdf opens in Google drive OK fine. Pdf closes so I have to reopen. Google drive is looking at me like this meme ape.

Can go into files to access it but still

LOST.DIR

I don't have this issue with my Nokia 5.4 at all. If I download it, it goes into my Downloads folder, and then I can easily move it from there. 🤷🏻‍♀️

It always shows/asks me the directory to save to, and I just have stock Android.

"Its with the others"

Files and then Downloads. Not hard.

Obvoiusly it's in /Downloads/Firefox/Hidden/Furrystash/

*iOS

Can one of many the actually-tech-competent humans in the comments please explain why i can never download a pdf of an online recipe unless i send it to myself through a messaging app from my laptop 😭 😭 😭
