where exactly is the downloads folder?

[–] KpntAutismus@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago (5 children)

/storage/emulated/0/Download

that's what total commander told me

[–] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

For Android, I can recommend CX Filebrowser

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

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

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

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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!

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

[–] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 1 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

The files are in the computer?

[–] dan1101@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year 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.
