How to find downloads on your Android deviceÂ
1. Open the Android app drawer by swiping up from the bottom of the screen.
2. Look for the My Files (or File Manager) icon and tap it. If you don't see it, instead tap the Samsung icon with many smaller icons inside it â My Files will be among them.
3. Inside the My Files app, tap "Downloads."
You should now be able to see all of your downloads.
