How to access Documents folder?

[PrivacyFriendlyMuffins]

I feel silly asking this question, but I cannot for the life of me figure it out: how do I access the Documents folder of my Android phone in Termux?

I wrote a small python file in a text editor and saved it to /Documents and I want to open it with python3, but typing ls or dir won't do anything (literally nothing, just goes to a new line) to figure out where I'm at. pwd works fine, but I don't know where /data/data/com.termux/files/home is. I presume it's somewhere in /storage/emulated/0/Android, and if it is in that part of storage, Termux seemingly won't allow me to cd out of there.

Also, even if I could find out, though, I couldn't move or copy the file from Documents to the ~/files/home directory because my file manager can't access—or obtain the permission to access—any directory below ~/emulated/0/Android.

I would think this would be an easy task, so I have to assume I am drastically misunderstanding some basic fact.

Would anyone be willing to help me understand what I'm not getting?

Thanks in advance!

Note: I am on Android 11, and am using Termux version 0.118.1. Please keep in mind also that I am very much a n00b in many things coding as I just started learning Python, and as such am not at all technically knowledgeable about a lot of "the things". Cheers.

First run termux-setup-storage then ls /sdcard/Documents/ check that your files exist or not

It works! Thanks!

Though, as an aside, I have to ask: why does Documents not show up when I type ls, yet I can cd to it just fine?

Because you didn't gave permission to termux to access your internal storage

Okay. :)
