    Android’s file structure is bad, yes. But does iOS even have a file structure? In my very limited time using iOS, I couldn’t find anything resembling a file explorer.

      we had a ducking sane file structure on symbian. Before apple knew what smartphone means. We had sane file structure on siemens phones.

      There’s no excuse for the unholy abomination of what manufacturers call an “operating system” on a smartphone these days.

        android has no official “files” app though?
        google files is a technically a 3rd party app and the AOSP files app is usually hidden and uaed only as a file picker.

      It does. But most of it is locked to the user. Mostly, it’s just the user directory that you have access to, which is the correct way.

            I think it’s fine for the handsets, but if they’re trying to push the iPad as a “semi computer” for the general consumer it really needs to be revamped. You can do many of the same things file managers do on other operating systems, but it’s extremely non-intuitive at times — so many users think the functionality is missing. Because if they don’t know it’s there it might as well be!
