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
lsI literally do this on my Android, what are you people on about. My download go into my Downloads folder. I can browse my phone just like a computer....
Good for you lol
You said you wanted to be able to do that. I'm saying you can.
Tell me you can't read without actually saying that
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
H-ha! I had a good laugh, for that I can thank you :)
What a child pretender lol
Yeah, that's me. You got me, o vise wun
This is all you have huh? Childish come backs? I mean when someone points out your stupidity you don't have many options, and you don't really seem like the guy to own up to a mistake.
We both know you were wrong, that's good enough for me kid.
That's so much good for you than you still write. And since you are trying to die on the hill of "you right, me wrong", I won't help you understand where you fucked up
Hm. Looks like deliberately wrong spelling does the trick of boosting your reading skills. Trai tu reed ma fist masaage egein
Jesus, this reads like an angsty teen. That whole last paragraph... You feel proud about that? You happy with how that came across?
What? Are you having a stroke? That sure would explain all this nonsense.
But man, I really missed out on how the ls command can move you through directories on it's own. I don't even need cd anymore, wow. That would have been revolutionary.
It's not a hill on dying in lol. You are objectively wrong. There no debate.
But sure, since I upset you, that's why you won't tell me where I messed up. Right.... Because you totally know, like for sure, but you just won't tell me because you got your feelings hurt. Lol ok. You don't even understand the basics of the things you are talking about. You are so transparent.
You know nothing about Linux, you clearly know nothing about Android or it's file system either. You don't even realize you can literally open a Linux shell on your android lol
Just sit down, you're embarrassing yourself.
This gets funnier with each iteration :) Do go on then. What else my transparent self does not realize? And while I am still at it, where is your insightful and undeniable proof Android actually does what I want from it? So far I've seen only "lol I can do it", so catch this: if you can do that, I can traverse file system with ls. Even starting at / on Android
You're move, da greit wun
I would explain it to you but you were mean to me so I'm not gonna!
Am I doing it right? This seems to be how you have convos.
Nooo, only me is allowed to do thiiis!
/cries in a corner/
Good. Now am I doing it right?
If crying is how you handle being wrong sure bud. Knock yourself out.
Also the emote text, really.... Are you a 13 year old...
No lol, I am asking if the described reaction is in line with whatever you have phantasized about me
Anyway, since I don't think you'll ever open your eyes and read the fucking (reference intended) message properly, been nice to shoot some shit (that's another, very specific reference to a game). Good luck
This guy is for sure having a stroke.
And you expect me to think you know anything about tech lol. Go back to trolling stack overflow like a good script kiddie now.
Calling out cringe game references in your comments.... You gotta still be in highschool.
I'm sorry I don't know how to traverse the FS by fucking. Can you show me ;)
I'm sure there's a VR headset mod out that allows just this...In both solo and partner modes!
took me a while to understand what you had written. Had a good laugh :)
You thought I was making shit up?
Tell me you don't understand what you're talking about without saying you don't understand what you're talking about.
I'm sorry you're android illiterate.
The meme says saved, not just download.
Delete this bullshit.
Oh, so I am not alone. Good to know, but damn what a crap of "software"
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?
It's an audio recording app, not a screen recording app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.recorder
That's why I said look under audio instead of video.
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?
You could use a different file manager. And there's a few places I would look for files : downloads, pictures, etc, or in a folder named for the app under one of those places
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?
