Is there an icon that expresses the default cloud save location as well as the circuitous GUI you need to navigate yo select your desired location on local storage?
Makes sense. Then you can add some kind of index to the file so you can jump to the parts you want. Just track a list of chunks, so they don’t have to be contiguous.
Yeah, and we could give that huge file some kind of internal and logical structure to find those chunks, maybe something hierarchical with human readable names!
An arrow pointing into a folder, similar to this. Sidesteps the tech issue altogether.

I mean, you’re just replacing one archaic symbol with another.
Normal people call computer directories ‘folders’.
I still use folders to organize paper documents. Taxes and medical stuff mostly.
We should do away with directories. Just one big block of files.
Yes look everything up by

Screw multiple files, just use one big one. Just append anything you want to add and you’ll have everything in 1 spot

Yeah! Now we’re cooking! I bet we could really improve resiliency and seek times with different data structures, too. B trees?
Or maybe we could keep the flat structure and have some kind of syntax for querying the data… some kind of structured language.
You’ve basically invented OneNote
Crap, I was hoping to invent file systems.
Easy to find saves time
