I was trying to move a folder from PC (kde neon)to my phablet after updating to ver 170 , I got the,could not write to device message, so I turned on developer mode,and it worked.
I usually move items to the downloads folder on phablet,thats when I realized there was not one.
I ran the update to ver 172 and looked for the downloads folder, it was not there ( no wipe ).
I then made a downloads folder, so a screen shot shows different date on that folder.
So a terminal readout is correct,but I made that folder.
I am using " skyneels Nvram flashable fix" and reflashing twrp periodcaly,to get away from Wifi,problems.
Just trying to see if something slipped thru, I don't think its worth going to github for, seemed strange tho.
