Fortunately, most android file explorer, including most oem ones, have features to search for recent files.

...let's just hope the feature actually work, or that the file isn't in a folder with .nomedia

I experience this more on ios than on android.

/storage/emulated/0/Download
Unless configured to a different location.
/0 = home or internal storage.

No, that's iOS

I haven’t had an android for years and all the memories came flooding back.

Is this some joke I'm too "solid explorer" to understand?

Everytime I try to find where the damn video I downloaded from telegram is, so that I can delete it and free up some space.

And no, its not in internal storage/Android/media/org.telegram.messenger/telegram/Telegram Video

Gallery 🤣. Everything's in Gallery 🤣.

feels good to have a fully functional file explorer

Folder named "Downloads":

Lol the struggle for Android users
