Trying to copy file from device to desktop, here is a command:
adb pull sdcard/log.txt Users/admin/Desktop But this command creates a folder Users/admin/Desktop inside platform-tools folder where adb is located. How to pull file to my desktop ?

Use a fully-qualified path to the desktop (e.g., /home/mmurphy/Desktop).
Example: adb pull sdcard/log.txt /home/mmurphy/Desktop
Judging by the desktop folder location you are using Windows. The command in Windows would be:
adb pull /sdcard/log.txt %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\ Be root, Define file on device and define new filename.
adb root adb pull /data/data/.../databases/launcher.db launcher.db On Windows, start up Command Prompt (cmd.exe) or PowerShell (powershell.exe). To do this quickly, open a Run Command window by pressing Windows Key + R. In the Run Command window, type "cmd.exe" to launch Command Prompt; However, to start PowerShell instead, then type "powershell". If you are connecting your Android device to your computer using a USB cable, then you will need to check whether your device is communicating with adb by entering the command below:
# adb devices -l Next, pull (copy) the file from your Android device over to Windows. This can be accomplished by entering the following command:
# adb pull /sdcard/log.txt %HOME%\Desktop\log.txt Optionally, you may enter this command instead:
# adb pull /sdcard/log.txt C:\Users\admin\Desktop\log.txt do adb pull \sdcard\log.txt C:Users\admin\Desktop
