Where to put custom ringtones

[anon(10111871)]

I have a couple of custom ringtones to use for incoming messages, but Pie doesn't see them in any of the ringtone directories. Where should I put them so messages will see them when I want to select new ringtone?

Thanks

Internal Storage-Notifications

(More detailed): In the Notifications directory. If you can't see it (because it's a system file, maybe), just create one in internal storage and save the "ringtones" for texts there. (Text apps use notification tones, not ringtones, and the difference is important.) Oh - and case matters - upper-case-N.

Welcome to Android Central! It's pretty standard on all Android devices to have the following directories:

/Ringtones
/Notifications
/Alarms

Using a good file manager app (like Files by Google or Total Commander), can you see these directories on your phone?
