Phones have as robust file system browsers as desktop computers.

It's probably just that the users of phones are not that "robust" and organized to care where the files are.

I think you are missing a step in your conclusion there. The reason users aren't as robust in organizing where their files come is because file browsing on phones isn't as robust.

On the android side the file browser that comes with the phone (if any) is bare bones. This combined with various sandboxing can make it pretty annoying to know exactly where your files end up.

Then there is the fact that the small UI on phones simply isn't all that great for browsing a large list of files.

So, putting it squarely on users isn't correct imho.

Total Commander is great but there are tons of real file explorers for any user "robust" enough. I think what user above is pointing out what we have all noticed, people browsing the web from a phone are usually younger, less intelligent and unrefined enough to be better off not given access to the file system .
