Yeah seriously, Android is way worse at this. At least Windows has the option to ask you where you want to save the file to first.
Android has the worst file system interface I've ever seen.
I wonder if there are any third-party os's that can do better on a jail broken android?
There are actually a few of them alongside Postmarket. LineageOS and its various forks, Ubuntu Touch, KDE Plasma Mobile, Graphene, Replicant... the list goes on!
Unfortunately, I was playing around with them a few years ago and Android phones seem to be a POS to try and switch the OS on. But, it's clearly done. I'm thinking about at least popping one of them onto an older phone or tablet.
You could install PostmarketOS and then basically use any linux shell of your choosing
Solid Explorer has a "Recent" category on the directory tree. Really handy. Also, if you long-press on a file, you can open the directory the file is saved in.
