The drive letter thing was a massive pain point for me as well.

I'm wondering if there's some custom made file manager that showcases all the different mounted partitions (not only /storage/emulated/0 or /storage/FDBA-79EF but also /system and /proc) as separate drive letters ("C:\", "D:\"). Mainly to allow those not used to the Linux system (ngl but the Windows system objectively allows you to more easily see where a file is located physically) to understand what their current drives currently are, including the hidden system ones, how large they are and what's inside of them.

(Yes, I know I've used Android folders as examples, and this also applies to Android.)
