Android uses a Linux based file system organized into several main areas. /system stores the core OS files, /data holds installed apps and user data, and /storage provides access to internal and external storage where files like photos and downloads live 😎👆

@dan_nanni The most interesting part is, how google changes every two years, how exactly, and with which access rights, different locations from within /data are mounted into each other in the namespaces of apps.

Just because your android is rooted and you have a file manager, which can copy files from everywhere to everywhere, there still are like 5 different catches, why your apps still can't see or access a file, that actually is in the right position.

You look at the same file from 2 different file managers and 2 different terminal emulators, and each app sees totally different owner and access rights.
