      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.
