    To be fair, file structure navigation became more of a pain in the ass when Microsoft decided to rework their start menu to feed into their fucking store/web browser. It’s not a hard fix but tablet natives wouldn’t know any better. At work I still end up accidently searching the web sometimes when im searching for a file that wasn’t important enough to pin. I know basic file structure the modern UIs are just trash and not designed for local users.

      With the search Powertoys can help, it is really good. Plus the other features it has is just amazing, windows without it is pure trash.

        On windows the best search is https://www.voidtools.com/ by voidtools.

        And by far, it hooks up right into the mtbr in the drives and knows instantly where all files are at all times. Copy 100.000 files? They are already “indexed”! Clean GUI too.

        One of the few tools windows has that’s better than the linux ones. Or if you have an equivalent please let me know!

    • On iOS for example it’s also hard. Every app has its own silo of files and then there’s a shared file system. The file manager app is far less capable than Finder on macOS.
