DFOLDER

This Keyword returns a <string>, the path of the folder registered in the system as the Downloads folder.

The returned value doesn’t end with a "\".
On Desktop Win32 it returns the system Downloads folder.
On Windows Mobile and CE it is not supported, and it returns an empty string.
On Windows 10 it returns the application specific folder in the Downloads folder. This is because Windows 10 apps don't have access to any other folder either than the application specific folder in the Downloads. The root of the returned folder is also not accessible due to permission restrictions. Use "CreateDir()" to create a new directory here and then you can access contents inside that directory. The directory must be created with the App to be accessible by the App, if it is created by another Application you cannot access it.
On Android it returns the system Downloads folder.
On Android 10 or higher Apps can no longer read/write from this folder, only PSDFOLDER.
On iOS there is no Download folder equivalent, while this remains true, it will return the application shared folder, the same value as PSDFOLDER.
