Jason Cipriani , Ed Rhee. April 18, p. Now playing: Watch this: The top 5 best Android Q features. Discuss: Where to find downloaded files on your Android phone. You get a "This type of file can harm your device" prompt that you need to accept with ok or deny with cancel to stop the download process. Recent versions of the web browser display a short confirmation that a file has been downloaded successfully. The confirmation goes away after a short period, and it may not be clear how to access the downloaded file.
If you bring down the notifications area of the device, you will see the downloads listed there as a single entry. A tap on a single download listed there launches the file. What happens depends on the file. You get a prompt if the file is an apk or executable file for instance. Most files, media for instance, are opened in the default viewer application or a prompt is displayed what to do with that file type. Chrome's Download Manager on Android is bare bones. It sorts downloads by date and displays the filename, size, and root domain it was downloaded from in the interface.
You may use the search to find files but won't find many other useful options there. A tap on a download launches it and a tap on the menu displays options to share the file or delete it. You may use the Files app on your Android device to manage downloaded files better. Just open it on your device, e.
Tap on the Menu icon in the top left corner and select Downloads to display only downloaded files. Here you may select the menu next to individual files to interact with them, e. Some Android devices come with a Downloads app.
Design and layout of the app depends largely on the manufacturer of the device. The download app on my Xiaomi Mi4c device for instance separates files that are downloading from complete files. You may pause or resume files that are in the download queue there for instance.
There you may also clear the list of downloads which just removes the reference to the download but not the actual file which remains on the device. You may use the file manager of the device instead to access all files downloaded to it. Use it to open the downloads folder on the device which lists all downloaded files that have not been deleted yet. Some browsers handle downloads internally. One question that should come up is why Google does not list downloads in the browser itself.
It could be a combination of downloads not being overly popular on mobile devices and keeping Chrome as clean and tidy as possible interface wise. You can either create a new folder in Finder or select an existing one.
If you have OneDrive or Google Drive integrated with Finder, you can select a folder from these cloud storage services and keep downloaded files in sync among all platforms. We save these files directly to OneDrive so that they are readily available on other devices.
Understandably, Google Chrome saves downloaded files to the phone storage. If your Android phone supports an SD card slot, you can change location from device storage to an external SD card. From the same menu, you should enable 'Ask where to save files' toggle. After that, when you try to save media from Google Chrome, it will ask you to choose Downloads folder or SD card.
That way, you can change the download location without messing with Google Chrome Settings. You will have to rely on another trick to change download location on the go. Step 2: Whenever you come across a media to download on iPhone, long tap on it and select Open media in the new tab. Step 4: The move will open the Share menu. Scroll down and select the Save to Files option.
