<![CDATA[Symlinks for downloads and music in home folder,why?]]>I could not get any browser to download on my UT device (like trying to download wallpapers from pexel.com).
When I got around to testing adb, I saw that the Downloads and Music folders were symlinks to themselves. Was this intensional?

Because out of the box the Downloads and Music folders are proper folders and not symplinks.

If I delete both and recreate the folders I am able to download from the browser.
