Location for custom sounds (alarm, notification, ringtone) - ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers

Does anyone know what directories you put custom alarms, ringtones, and notification sounds? I'm coming from an HTC m9 and when I moved files into the "normal" folders (Alarms, Ringtones, Notifications) they don't show up in the selection menu/tab. I was able to access them by digging through the Music tab but I know there should be an easier way to find them.

With ES File Explorer Pro, I've placed additional ringtones and notifications in the following locations:
/storage/emulated/0/Ringtones
/storage/emulated/0/Notifications
Note that your phone may categorize the sound files under the header "music" when selecting them.

If you're rooted, I simply move them to the appropriate folder in /system/media/ in the root directory. If you go this route, make sure to set permissions to 644.

Where's the ringtone folder for added ringtone?

Does anybody know where I can find the folder where new ringtones are added? I've been going around in circles for a while now, and I can't seem to find where they are. Or are they just shown on the UI and just accessed by the system from their original folders?

Best location for ringtones, etc?

What are the best locations for putting ringtones, alarms & notifications?
For music, I created the folder /mnt/extSDCard/Music and it all works well.
But when I create and populate similar Alarms, Notifications, and Ringtones folders in /mnt/extSDCard, the standard pickers that are available to me in Rings Extended don't seem to pick up the content of these folders. I can opt to use Root Explorer as my picker but then I don't get any previews, which is not useful.

There are folders for these on the internal sdcard, I always just move the files into the appropriate system folder (system/media/audio) then change permissions and reboot.
