where exactly is the downloads folder?
/storage/emulated/0/Download
that's what total commander told me
For Android, I can recommend CX Filebrowser
I haven't tried that one but FX filebrowser is awesome
So convenient .
Well
/storage/emulated/0/seems to be sort of like a home folder, so it is quite convenientIt's the kind of /home you have when you don't want people to stumble upon it... The kind of place you archive your "homework" in.
Not my gentleman's special interest literature!
Who is this commander and why is he is fucking around with my downloads?
Total Commander is a godsend. I don't know how people use Windows or Android without it.
We conveniently place that stuff in /home/$USER in Unix-likes. Even have standards to re-define Downloads & co. path.
Guess Google wanted the share-to-app and share-to-cloud like Apple, but rven there users sometimes like s file manager.
Who the fuck knows.
Like the fictional village of Germelshausen, it only appears for a single day every 100 years.
In your phone. Just like how your computer has things in the C drive.
The files are in the computer?
I just run Files and the Downloads folder is listed there under Categories.
On Android it's in the root folder. So basically if you just open any file explorer app, it should be on the first screen. The equivalent to the "C" drive or "My Computer" on Windows.
File manager --> Local storage (usually accessible through some hamburger or three dot menu) --> Emulated --> Downloads (usually in the root of the emulated storage)
