Once a download is done, Android will notify you — usually at the top part of your screen — that it has indeed finished downloading the file. Tapping on this notification will either open the file directly with an associated app, or open the folder where it is saved.
The icon will also be recognizable — a file folder or an envelope-shaped icon. This should be easy to do, as file manager apps tend to display folders alphabetically. You will need an associated app to open or access the file you downloaded. Allow me to make two recommendations. One the more popular file manager apps is ES File Explorer. You can download this and then use it as your file manager app. You can now locate your Downloads folder using this app, as it also has a text search function.
That said, the app is free-to-download, so it will show you ads from time to time. ES File Explorer also has added features which you may or may not want. It is a solid file manager app, and we can recommend it for the task at hand. The app is free to use, but it has virtually zero ads, which is always a good thing. It provides a more feature-rich file manager, something that the more technically savvy will appreciate.
For the task at hand, it is more than capable to show you where your downloads are. Say that you downloaded an image a few days back, and you may have accidentally deleted it. You can still easily get that image back — or any other download you did on the Chrome browser — for that matter, because the Chrome app remembers your downloads. Open up the Chrome browser app, which most people use as their default smartphone internet browser. Tap on the menu button to the left of the address bar the three dots button , and then tap on Downloads.
The following menu will show you all your recent downloads, and you can just tap on one to re-download it. If connecting your Android device to your Windows computer is easier for you, then you can also use this to find the Downloads folder in Android.
Plug in to a USB port on your computer and wait for your computer to accept the connection. You can even save the said file on your computer if you want to use it at some other time.
Personally, I believe this is the easiest method to find and open downloaded files on Android. Not only the downloads, even the files from Google apps like Docs, Slides, Sheets, etc.. To open downloads from Google Drive , open the Google Drive app.
If you remember the name of the file, use search bar to easily find the downloaded file or scroll through the files and locate it. In your file manager app whichever you may be using you can press down on the file you want to delete. Options will then appear, including one that will allow you to delete the said file. This is helpful if you want to delete multiple files. There are a variety of Android file managers to use. However, a highly popular and useful option is X-plore File Manager.
The dual-pane feature makes it a personal favorite. The menu on the right includes a Find feature. I also love that search tips are included in the search box.
Enter part of your file name and locate your file in seconds. The notification looks like a checkmark. This is an easy way to see where your downloads are stored by default. Connect your Android device to your computer with a USB cable, and within a few seconds, you should see a prompt appear offering to show you the contents of the device you connected.
Click on the one that allows you to see the contents of your Android device. Click on the Phone option and scroll down until you find the Downloads folder. Just open it and do whatever you please. You downloaded an image last week but accidentally erased it from your device. To recover that image, open Chrome, tap the three-dotted menu icon at the top right corner, then tap Downloads to see your list of downloads from the browser.

From there, you can open it, save it to a different location, send it to a friend, or delete it with ease. Of all the browsers available to Android users , Chrome is the most widely used. To recover the lost file , launch Chrome and tap on the three dots to open the menu. Open the Chrome browser. One of our favorite thing about Android is the abundance of apps available. In this case, we recommend using Mi File Manager to find your downloaded files on your phone.
This app is fairly simple and easy to use. It also gives you access to advanced options through an easy-to-use interface. You can also use the Mi File Manager to organize files, downloads, and media content. You can move them to different folders, or share your files by email with friends. The files you downloaded on your Android device might be stored somewhere in your files, which you can access through File Manager.
