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

            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.

        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.

      In your phone. Just like how your computer has things in the C drive.

      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)
