where exactly is the downloads folder?

[-] KpntAutismus@lemmy.world 24 points 8 months ago

/storage/emulated/0/Download

that's what total commander told me

Well /storage/emulated/0/ seems to be sort of like a home folder, so it is quite convenient

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

It'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!

For Android, I can recommend CX Filebrowser

[-] BCsven@lemmy.ca 4 points 8 months ago

I haven't tried that one but FX filebrowser is awesome

Who is this commander and why is he is fucking around with my downloads?

[-] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 1 points 8 months ago

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.

Total Commander is a godsend. I don't know how people use Windows or Android without it.

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.

[-] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 32 points 8 months ago

The files are in the computer?

[-] dan1101@lemm.ee 4 points 8 months ago

I just run Files and the Downloads folder is listed there under Categories.

[-] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 2 points 8 months ago

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.
