Apple has never given users access to the file system the same way you have access on a PC or an Android phone.

It is different with Apple, both on the Mac and the iPhone. I’m not complaining, I just wanted to know if I could get any more information. I’m especially looking for that on the Mac. I like to solve problems that come along, and without knowing the deeper structure, that’s not always possible. Kristeen ”Logic will get you from A to B; imagination will get you everywhere."

You've been given lots of replies to what the Files app does provide so if it doesn't meet your needs, it would be helpful if the needs were detailed more specifically in future posts.

I am not sure it does what she was asking for. It doesn’t tell you where the app is on your phone. I checked the Info on an app that I know exactly where it is, but it did not tell me it was in a folder called MS Apps. I think she is looking for something else, but maybe she will chime in with more details.
