This is my experience with Android, not Windows. Pretty much everything I use in Windows either asks every time or dumps your files in the Downloads folder.
If you use your eyes and brain to pay attention to where you save things this becomes a complete non-issue on virtually every OS.
Congratulations, you’ve defeated this meme!
Your plaque and bronze statuette will be mailed with great haste as soon as I can figure out where my shipping manifest got saved to.
I feel this way about iOS.
Mobile in general. At one point, I tried setting up Syncthing to be able to manage files remotely for vlc, but android wouldn’t let the two programs access the same space with read/write permissions.
Last week, I was trying to convert a video and the program(FFShare) wouldn’t tell me where it was even saving the file to.

dont need to worry just ask the NSA where your files are
Microsoft Outlook puts attachments that you open in some insane temporary folder. That’s fine for viewing a file but god forbid you save without changing the full path.
appdata go brrrrrrrt
Default save folder is Documents
ok, but which documents folder, and where actually is it?
Because if you have onedrive installed then that does not sync your documents folder. It syncs its own folder that it puts god knows where. And then does its best to have explorer open its folder instead of your documents folder. Which does not always work. So sometimes you get an app that actually opens “c:/users/username/documents” and it’ll be empty
Or you can just go to Recent Files and rclick the file and select “Open File Location”.
File Not Found
This file may have been removed, deleted or renamed.
That’s when you go all Office Space on it
I hate this meme. It’s downloads/documents or wherever you saved the document the first time. And you chose that location.
It’s downloads/documents
Lies, it’s always Sharepoint or OneDrive, you have to fight with Office if you want to save it locally. And it’s been like this for the past 10 years.
