Nexus 7, Ubuntu 12.04, Eclipse Juno
Nexus 7 has been set developer mode. And in Eclipse I can see lists in "File Explorer" for Android.
I can see storage/emulated/legacy
But I can not see storage/emulated/0/ folder

Go to Settings -> Apps , make sure Show System is checked in the menu, look for Media Store or something like that, click on it and Clear Data .
The emulated folder is how android makes it possible for phones without a memory card slot to allow applications to still work. In the early days, when storage was expensive, everybody would put a memory card in their phone to store photos, videos and music.
/storage/emulated/0/Download is the actual path to the files. A Symlink In computing, a symbolic link is a term for any file that contains a reference to another file or directory in the form of an absolute or relative path and that affects pathname resolution.
Emulated storage is provided by exposing a portion of internal storage through an emulation layer and has been available since Android 3.0.
I have had the same problem as well. Found the answer in a comment on a seperate stack overflow question so credit goes to the author.
everything is a link to /storage/emulated/legacy anyway, which itself is a link to /mnt/shell/emulated/0 which contains the file. – moonlightcheese Dec 7 '12 at 13:55
So check out that directory through the Android file explorer, and you will have your files.
