If you want to bulk-select or bulk-delete files in your downloads, long-tap one of the files until the checkboxes appear, then tap each subsequent file you want to carry out the same action for.
Many apps have their own download settings. Case in point: WhatsApp by default downloads images and videos to your phone and keeps them in its own folder. You may be able to change where files are downloaded by default to keep everything more organized on your device.
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. 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.
The download manager. And share after you select a file or more. Not even search, let alone pause download, etc. The way I discovered this was a bit infuriating as I had to redownload some files..
Also no select all button, I have to tap on each file, all of them if needed, to select then remove them. Thank you so much buddy…. I forgot that I could control chrome downloads using my Default downloads app. Android does not provide a way to organize files. You will need to install a file manager app from the market to move files around. Nor can I find how to change the default.
I have even tried downloading dedicated search apps, like "Search Everything" and nothing can find these files on my device. It appears that they are hidden by Firefox, which seems pretty dumb and pointless, to be frank.
These were song files. Each one prompted me to open a music player as it downloaded, so I skipped through that each time. What you are saying is that the reason I cannot find these files in my Downloads folder or anywhere else on the phone is that Firefox deleted them. I find that mind-blowingly stupid, and an absolute killer problem which meaans that I will NOT continue to use Firefox. I can't understand how it has got this far Default operation should be save.
That's a no-brainer. Absolute worst case, there should be a clearly available option in preferences to change this behaviour to be slightly more sane. What is even stupider is that they still show up in Firefox's download view, so the user thinks they ARE stil there and wastes many hours trying to work out where.
