Where is the sdcard location in Android Device Manager for the Samsung NOTE 5

Question

I installed a database on a Samsung Note 5 programmatically in this directory:

public static String dataPath = "/mnt/sdcard/mycompany/sms2email/data/";

I am using the Android Device Manager to go pull out the database file from my device and I cannot find the directory in ADM. On a Nexus 7, the location seemed to be:

mnt/shell/emulated/0/

Where is this directory for the sdcard?

I mean, I can find the directory on my phone using astro file manager in the sdcard, but cannot find it in ADM. — Kristy Welsh, Aug 22 '16 at 20:53
I found the directory under: /mnt/sdcard/ but ADM will not let me look in this directory. — Kristy Welsh, Aug 22 '16 at 20:58

Never hardcode the sd directory. Use Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() instead. The location of the sdcard will differ between models extensively.

Thanks, will take your advice, but still did not answer my question - how to get to this directory with ADM. – Kristy Welsh Aug 22 '16 at 20:48
How do you get to the sdcard using ADM. – Kristy Welsh Aug 22 '16 at 20:55
That gives the location, but not where to find the directory in ADM. – Kristy Welsh Aug 22 '16 at 20:58
If you're having problems using ADM, then use adb pull instead. – Gabe Sechan Aug 22 '16 at 20:59
That's just unfortunate. I'd like to be able to use the Graphical user interface. – Kristy Welsh Aug 22 '16 at 21:06
