I've never had this issue on Windows, but I have on mobile many times. The more a platform tries to hide the FS from me, the more I struggle to navigate it (surprise!). Mobile devices have been moving to be more transparent that a FS exists at least in recent times.
Casual plug for Search Everything, not FOSS but still free. It's an alternate indexer/search for Windows, but way faster.
It's fun with screenshots, you save it and realize, you didn't check what path it saved to because you (read: me) always puts downloads in the Downloads folder by default. It's the last place you saved an image, shouldn't be too hard? Just gotta find an IMG_something either in user photos or documents usually. And then fail to do so, and do a walk of shame back and try save again just to see where it actually ended up...
I do love Everything though, it's amazing and I constantly use it for looking for things. I know names at least partially, and that does it 99% of the time. Sorting by Path also makes it very easy to navigate when you get a lot of hits. Just a pro-tip to those yet to learn of that power.
I like that with Samsung phones I can at least use a file browser. iPhone a fucking black box though.
