Don't forget the old stuff folder inside another old stuff.

Seriously tough nowadays it seems harder to organize, everything is in the cloud or in an app.

    I mean that the abstraction and "security" measures have made it very difficult to get where are the files. It's not thinking in any app in particular.

    To give you an example:

    • descent( boardgame app), we tried to get a backup of the campaign in progress to change the phone. But there was no easy option on the app and the phone wouldn't let me access the directory where it should be saved. (Funny thing is that it was only blocked on the phone we wanted to backup, on other phones we were able to access those files)

    the phone

    So that's it!

    Seriously though, phones are terrible for file management. Probably because every file gets thrown... Somewhere. Most into Downloads, some into Documents, and then some apps have their own esoteric space.

    All the file management UIs are equally terrible: made to look nice, but dysfunctional.

    Nothing ever prompts you where to save your shiny new file.

    And, to be fair, screen size doesn't help.

    And you only even try to set up #1 after #2 causes a catastrophic data loss, or costs you five times as much wasted time finding a file that's causing problems.
