smartphones do use files and folders. They just don’t typically come with a file browser like your desktop does.
This is my biggest gripe about Android. It’s basically unusable.
Sure, I use Amaze from fdroid. But I tried to extract a compressed tarball and it literally couldn’t do it. And there were 0 apps in fdroid to extract compressed archives. What a useless OS.
Android also will enforce file permissions, and every app is its own user, and there’s no way to chmod. Firefox downloads things and saves them with no other permission, so other apps just cannot fucking see the file.

Of you think Android is bad, wait until you see iOS…

That’s not been my experience. Usually it gets put in the Downloads folder, and I can see it in amaze and then open it with other apps.
File managers can sometimes ignore file permissions. I don’t want to share a file through the file manager every fucking time
