Something I've noticed is a sticking point with some less experienced computer users is file system navigation, specifically being able to consistently locate files (e.g. for web uploads).

It's something I've considered attempting to solve myself, but no super intuitive and clean solutions come to mind. Has anyone else run into this issue, either with friends or family?

iOS solves this admirably by simply forcing you store a given document type within the relevant app, then having only one such app.

More technically minded folk hate this but for less powerful users it is wonderful. Wtf do I need a file system browser with a bunch of .epub files in it if I can simply have iBooks?
