This is the method that should work for most Android devices out there. Opening the app will take you straight to your downloads folder without the need to search anywhere else for the downloaded files. Another way to get to the Downloads folder is by using a file manager for Android, much like you would use on your Mac or PC to find files. Some Android devices will have a file manager already pre-installed, usually on older versions of Android.
My go-to file manager for Android is Total Commander. To find a list of all the downloaded files with the help of a file manager app, simply open it to find a list of directories on your device. Once you locate the folder, go ahead and open it up, and then find a folder called Downloads.
Open the folder to see a list of all your downloaded files. You can select more than one category. To see all images and videos, for example, tap the buttons for Images and Videos. To see all the files on your device, tap the buttons for all the categories Figure B. You can also change the view by navigating to a specific folder on your phone. Tap the Hamburger icon in the upper left corner. At the Files pane, tap the folder you wish to view.
You can drill down to a specific subfolder to see the files inside Figure C. Next, you can search for files via the search field at the top. Type your keyword or phrase in the field, and the app tracks down and displays the associated files Figure D.
You can change the order in which your files are sorted. Tap the three-dot icon in the upper right and then select the Sort By command. You can sort your files by name, modified date, file type, and file size. You can also change the file view from thumbnails to Details by tapping the lined bullet point icon above the second column of files Figure E.
You can save or share one or more files. Long tap on the file you wish to share to select it. Long tap on any other files that you want to share. Tap the Share icon at the top of the screen. Choose the service, location, or app that you want to use to share the file, such as Dropbox, Facebook, Messages, or Twitter. Follow the steps to share the file Figure F.
To deselect selected files, tap the X at the top of the screen that shows the number of files selected. You can also view files on Google Drive if you use that service for online storage.
