There are dangling symlinks WRT the SD-card in SailfishOS:

# ls -l /sdcard
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 1970-10-18 09:49 /sdcard -> /storage/self/primary
# ls -l /storage/
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 1970-10-18 09:49 sdcard0 -> /sdcard
#

As /storage/self/primary obviously does not exist, both symlinks point to nowhere!

This seems to be one part of the reason, why many file utilities for Android show a pretty void directory by default:

But likely some other misconfiguration causes the Android runtime environment to point Android apps to /sdcard/sdcard0.

Observed with SailfishOS 3.2.0.12 on an Xperia X.

Sorry, I should have followed my own advice, given at the last paragraph of section 2.2, there.

What happened: SailfishOS 3.2.0 replaced Jolla's original /opt/alien/system/script/platform_envsetup.sh with an identical file. Hence upgrading to SailfishOS 3.2.0 overwrote these changes and because I missed to reestablish them, I ran into afore-mentioned and -depicted issues.
