    Seriously, this thread has me very confused about how a social media platform seemingly inundated with nerds can’t open a file manager (which often comes pre-installed) to find a downloads folder.

      It was a bigger problem when they first instituted private app storage and limited apps access to other apps data.

      Eg. My dashcam app had an export button. The files went into that apps private storage which was unavailable to non-root file explorers even with permissions. The app had to change significantly.

      Everything’s more or less playing well together now but people still have PTSD.
