Where are downloaded files on my samsung 8

I have a Galaxy S9. I system updated yesterday and now when I download images and files I cannot locate them. But not now. I get the notification from download manager that they are complete and i can open them from the top bar on my phone but I cannot do anything with this but view for 1 time. I do not know where my downlaods are going now and I cannot find them in any file. Did something in my system get unchecked or deleted in my system update?

Go to Solution. In Case others have this issue. I was on a call with tech support for well over an hour trying to resolve this issue. Restore apps to default settings will clear this issue. View solution in context. Can you be more specific on how to do that? Is it global, restoring ALL apps to default settings? Where do you go for that? I also read that you need to set permissions on Chrome to allow storage, but it was already enabled. I also checked this on the gallery app and it was ALSO enabled.

The other solution listed above this one did not work for me. Thanks for taking the time to figure this out. Decide to choose the "Internal Storage" or the "SD card" folder according to where your media files are saved.

Open the folder labeled " DCIM " where your photos and videos are stored. By the way, you should find other folders if your media files are not all in the DCIM folder. Now, you can select the photos, videos and other more media files you want to move to your computer and copy and paste them to your computer.

You can create a folder on your computer to save the transferred files. If you want to copy files from computer to Samsung phone, you can select the files, copy them and paste to the Camera folder or other folder where your media files are in on your Samsung phone.

You can also transfer files from Samsung to computer, and vice versa, using one click, without the complicated operations like above. Here this Coolmuster Samsung Data Manager is exactly one of the best assistant programs to help share files between Samsung smart phone and PC.

With it, you are able to view all files on your Samsung phone and computer before exporting. Thus you can transfer them selectively.
