What is Home Directory under Jelly bean 4.1 based Samsung Smartphones?

Last Update date : Oct 13. 2020

A home directory is a file system directory that contain files for a given user of the system. The specifics of the home directory (such as its name and location) is defined by the operating system involved. A user's home directory is intended to contain that user's files; including text documents, music, pictures or videos, etc. It may also include their configuration files of preferred settings for any software they have used there.

 

 

 

Some striking features of Home Directory are:

 

● The user can install executable software in this directory, but it will only be available to users with permission to this directory.

● The home directory can be organized further with the use of sub-directories. The content of a user's home directory is protected by file system permissions, and by default is only accessible to that user and administrators.
