      Mobile in general. At one point, I tried setting up Syncthing to be able to manage files remotely for vlc, but android wouldn’t let the two programs access the same space with read/write permissions.

      Last week, I was trying to convert a video and the program(FFShare) wouldn’t tell me where it was even saving the file to.

          I think it varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. I have a Samsung because it’s what my carrier sent me when my other phone died under warranty. I heard those are worse for things like this. At least most of my troubleshooting seemed to hit wall because of that. I intend to get a GrapheneOS compatible phone next.

        I don’t understand. On Android I can just open the file manager and “last downloaded object” is at the top of the list no matter where it went, letting me “open file location”

        It’s a thing on my Fold and I know it was a thing on my Pixel 2 and 3 as well. Maybe just these 2 brands?
