- brainwipe 2y agoNot the case universally. My son's school in south-central UK does everything via Google Docs or apps specially built for distance learning. If it weren't for Minecraft mods, he'd have no concept of the file system.
- ghaff 2y agoWell, in Google Docs you have something that looks a lot like a hierarchical filesystem (whether someone actually creates folders or not). The fact that it's not actually a filesystem as traditionally understood is sort of irrelevant. The average filesystem user didn't know about inodes, journaling, etc. either.
- acdha 2y agoHow does that work for most people? Are they organizing the files on a traditional file system or clicking on an icon in the message to open them or picking uploads from a selector which blends cloud and and app boundaries? Based on my wife’s school and the one our son attends, a LOT of the areas which used to expose file system behavior have been removed or significantly de-emphasized.
