    Opens the files app which shows all files that were recently downloaded from any app to the file system.

      That’s like piling all your paperwork on your office desk in a giant tower in the order they came in and arguing that’s just as good as sorting them into files and putting them in the cabinet.

        There was a legend I heard of in an engineering office. There was an engineer at this company I worked at, long before I was there. On the first day of work, he created his first file, file 000001. He pulled out a notebook, and wrote the file number and the document title. Later that day, he moved on to file 000002. And so he continued. For many years, one document after another, all in sequential order. No one ever bothered to inquire about his numbering system. He simply sent files off when needed, renaming as necessary. No one ever needed to poke through his work computer. Then, one day, he got laid off in a company downsizing… He simply took the notebook with him, took it home, and burned it.

        Is this your first file system? It literally does sort it into “videos” if I have a video or “images” if it’s an image. What do you crack heads want it to do?

          Exactly the fucking following: put my fucking files in the directories I fucking created for my fucking files, show me the fucking file system the way it fucking looks when traversed by fucking ls

                    Someone asked what the hell you want to do. You said what you wanted to do, I’m telling you that you can. Where are you confused at?

                    Be an ignorant ass all you want, you just look stupid. Maybe educate yourself on a topic before claiming you can’t do something.

                    Also you don’t traverse with the ls command, that shows what’s in a directory, it doesn’t traverse them. So when you say “traverse by fucking ls” you look like a kid who just installed Linux lol

      The meme says saved, not just download.

      1. Open Recorder app.
      2. Record and press save.
      3. Open Files app.
      4. The file is not in recent.
      5. The file is not in audio.

      Delete this bullshit.

        It literally does show up under recent for me. I used the screen recorder built in stock and it shows up as a recent file. Did you even try to do this exact thing?

            Ok I see the confusion, on your end. You assume this file is being saved to the global FS and this app has its own resources. So to save it globally you have to share it to the files app. i get that’s confusing to normies. But it took me 20 seconds to figure it out. I’m guessing chatgpt didn’t give the answer.

              I’m sorry, did you or did you not say the files app just shows everything? Does the meme imply that finding files on Android is difficult? Did you not just explain something extremely counterintuitive that’s contradictory to your own first post? 🙄

                I def did not say the “files app shows (everything)” . I hope the reading skills improve. If we are being pedantic.

                  You said “shows all files that were recently downloaded from any app to the file system”. I pointed out that the meme you were replying to specifically said save not download and that the Files app definitely does not do that.

      mine doesn’t do that. also, what if you’re looking for a file that’s older than three weeks old? should I go fuck myself then?

      I do that with my email. Email has a search function - if I don’t know a key word in the email or approximately when it came in, how would I know that I found it if I ever found it in some other way?
