I feel like that's worse on android and ios. The former it's like "I saved it somewhere in this byzantine folder structure!" and in ios it's like "Fuck you we don't talk about folder structure"

Save an image - it's either in Downloads or inside some folder in DCIM or Pictures or some random folder in root - or if you're super lucky - inside some random folder in the app's data directory.

The DCIM folder always seems so odd to me. It's a modern, mobile OS pretending to be a Fujitsu point-and-shoot digital camera from 2004.

I also encounter this frequently on MacOS...

Yeah, Finder is like "what the fuck is a path? Clearly something too technical for the average user."
