Finding the files that you have downloaded on your Android device can be tricky in the beginning, but these are the steps that you have to do:

• Look for the Android app that can usually be found on the bottom of your screen.

• Look for My Files or File Manager. It will depend on the Android device that you are using.

• Look for the button that says “Downloads.”

• Check out the downloaded files there.

Once you have already found the downloaded file, you can open it and check it out. Some people have been using Android for years and have never known where to look.

Finding downloaded files on an Android smartphone is not a difficult task and can easily be solved once you know what to do.

1. The first step you will need to take is to find the "downloads" folder in your phone file manager. The file manager app can be easily located since it is a common app we use almost every day. Once you open the file manager, all you need to do is to look for the "downloads" folder. This folder contains every file you have downloaded since you started using the smartphone. At times, you might have so many files in the folder. However, you can easily locate the file you are looking for by entering its name in the search box, or you can use the "sort by" option so as to arrange the files in the order of ascending or descending, size, time, type.

2. At times, when you have an SD card in your android device, the process can become a little bit tough, as you will need to check the "downloads" folder in the memory card and that of the phone memory.
