A Symlink In computing, a symbolic link is a term for any file that contains a reference to another file or directory in the form of an absolute or relative path and that affects pathname resolution.
This is with reference to my previous answer here , but with more relevant details. On Android 5 :. Being not Android specific but generally Linux related, symlink and bind mount see "Creating a bind mount" are out of the scope of this question, as the question is about emulation part mainly.
Why the emulation is here? Emulated filesystem is an abstraction layer on actual filesystem ext4 or f2fs that serves basically two purposes:. Read Android's Storage Journey for details, the summary is:. Early Android devices were short on internal storage and relied on physically external SD cards that traditionally use FAT family of filesystem to ensure compatibility with most of the PCs refer to Microsoft's dominance on PC world.
When the internal storage grew in size, same filesystem was shifted to internal still called "external" SD card. Execute following commands:. Now Force Stop the Termux app and grant Storage permission. Execute the commands again:. See the difference in permissions of same files and directories.
This seems not to be simply possible without emulation on a native Linux filesystem when there are hundreds of apps users to be dealt with simultaneously. This is the filesystem emulation that lets the same file to be exposed with three different sets of permissions at same time independent of it's original permissions on actual filesystem:.

I am able to locate using bluetooth file transfer explorer. So "File Manager" the default app to handle files on Android cannot access that folder? ES File Explorer does not show this directory for me on Android 7. ES File Explorer was a great app but unfortunately Google removed it: androidpolice. Note: you can use adb wirelessly as well.
