    Well I just thought it was neat I could screen record but whatevs, screenshots will probably get it done with a bit of explanation.

    Image 1: File manager open, preparing to mount devices.

    Image 2: Devices mounted, preparing to open filesystem on first device.

    Image 3: Attempted to open filesystem on first device, met with access denied.

    Image 4: Bypassed access denied, appended storage/emulated/0 to filesystem mount point(? i think im saying that right), filesystem now accessible.

    Use Your Imagination 1: Opened filesystem on device 2, bypassed access denied, appended system/emulated/0 again, able to access filesystem.

    Use Your Imagination 2: Attempted to open filesystem on device 1 again, access denied again, appended system/emulated/0 again, able to access file system again.

    Ad Nauseum every time I want to access the filesystem on these devices remotely. It might actually be faster to just email myself the files. Probably less frustrating, too.

    Does that explain it? You can also see how it would be easy to mix up which device I’m browsing because they are both called some random jumbled numbers with similar android file names instead of “phone” and “tablet” or something human like that

    Apparently I have a native ability to record videos of my screen on linux, which is very neat and I’m going to take advantage of it now.

    I had originally typed up a couple paragraphs explaining, but I don’t think it’s as clear as this video. The 3rd IP/mount point being selected and resulting in a loading mouse icon is an example of unexplained disconnect. Hope that explains your question. Frankly that stack exchange page confuses and scares me.

    You can see how it would be annoying to type ctrl+l storage/emulated/0 every single time you want to transfer a file from device to device, especially when you can’t tell the difference between devices at a glance.
