Was using MX Player when I hit the refresh button and 2 video folders popped up (weird). The directories look like this:

So I go into Solid Explorer to browse and discover 2 other directories containing the same files and folders like shown:

Is it supposed to be this way? Which directory is all the content really stored at? :confused:
Also for example there is a System root > sdcard folder, and a System root > storage > sdcard0 folder with identical stuff inside each of them. This redundancy is really annoying me :rolleyes:
 
Maybe both? That's not the only one. Android does have redundant paths. "\sdcard\", "\mnt\sdcard\", "\storage\emulated\0\", "\storage\emulated\legacy\" and \storage\sdcard0\" all point to the same place. This is the first time i've seen an app make a duplicate scan tho.
 
Multi-user profile stuff baked into 4.2 gives each user their own file path.
