I was expecting an important folder but the Download folder???

HeartyBeast ,

You should definitely campaign against seatbelt laws

ByteWizard ,

You joke but those and helmet laws all should be repealed. We need to stop protecting people from Darwin. When the stupid assholes can't cull themselves naturally it drives the average intelligence downward.

We see the results of this in modern society with the number of iPhone owners. No one should want an iPhone but marketing is all it takes for the stupid to be convinced.

And yet … here you are.

Only because he'll get a ticket if he's caught not wearing his seatbelt.

ByteWizard ,

Funny thing, if you pretend to take off your seat belt it looks like you were wearing one. Seatbelt laws are useless tyranny.

This is so every app can only read it's own subfolder. Unless you think it's better that advertisers and app developers can have access to 100% of your personal files

I wish I could at least create a folder on my microSD card for these apps but no.

I THINK THIS HAS TO DO WITH APP PERMISSIONS. IF YOUR APP NEEDS A PLACE TO READ/WRITE FILES, IT MAKES SENSE TO KEEP IT OUT OF YOUR DOWNLOADS FOLDER THAT COULD CONTAIN SENSITIVE INFORMATION LIKE BANK STATEMENTS OR OTHER THINGS. YOU DON'T WANT SOME RANDOM APP LOOKING AT EVERYTHING THAT ENDS UP IN YOUR DOWNLOADS FOLDER!!!

GET RILED ABOUT GIVING THESE GREEDY DATA SNOOPING APPS THE LEAST PERMISSION POSSIBLE!!

The mildly infuriating part of this post is OP thinking that his consumer phone OS was made just for them and not millions of tech-illiterate people.

It is.

Time to install a file manager such as Ghost Commander

That's not how it works
