My problem with it is how inconsistently things get placed.

App downloaded an image: it could be in the apps main data folder, DCIM, Pictures, Documents, or even a new folder at the base of the tree. Add an sd card and that list doubles as all those same locations exist separately on the sd card as well. (I've had images land in all 10 of these locations before)

/edit missed the 'download' folder. 12 possible locations.

Downloads have always gone to the downloads folder for me

But yes any app that takes/edits pictures can save them who the fuck knows where lol

Browsers put em in the downloads folder, but every other app is a wild west for me. Most Reddit and messaging apps I had downloaded to their own little folder.

Oh true! Tbh that never particularly bothered me because I end up organising stuff into my own folders anyways which all automatically go into DCIM.
