Where does the browser downloads go?
What is the location of the saved files?
I'd like to access the files after they've been downloaded.
I'm pretty sure it downloads to /sdcard/download
If its really killin ya, download a file, open astro and take a look for yourself.
Seek and you will find it...
...or just look here:

I don't mean to resurrect a year old thread here, but I was looking for the default download location because I couldn't find my downloaded files in /sdcard/download.
Apparently the default display settings for EStrongs and Astro file managers are different. EStrongs doesn't show hidden files by default, which is why I couldn't find my downloaded files beginning with a '.'
iam rooted on buzz but when i want delete tones it say
system file is read only
Are you rooted?
yes rooted
Which file manager are you trying to use to delete the ringtones?
yes ringtones
What file manager are you trying to use to delete them?
(as in Root explorer, ES File Explorer, ...)
explorer blue one
That doesn't really help me much.

I am presuming you mean "File Expert"
Do this to allow you to delete system files:
1. Click the menu key and select More.
2. Within that menu click Settings
3. Select "File Explorer Settings"
4. Scroll down and select "Root Explorer"
5. Click "Allow" in the window that pops up
no root button in explorer
Okay let's do this another way.
1. Download ES File Explorer from the Market
2. Open it up and press the menu button and select "Settings"
3. Scroll all the way down and select "Root Explorer" and "Mount File System"
There.
thank worked can this way delet stock apps
You can, but don't get too crazy, some apps are needed for the system to function properly
directory apps system?
/system/app
I have a problem, when I hit the download icon (all apps) on my nexus 7, it is always empty.
I check in my download folder and there is 9 files for 66 meg.
I check with parameter, storage, and I have 66 meg, when I hit the storage, its open download, and still empty????
What is the problem?
To solve the problem I create an shortcut with es explorer to the folder download, but I would like that my download (original) icon to work.
Help, is this a bug, or I am the only one?
My nexus is in French, (telechargement) but I try in English and it is the same problem (download)
Where is this setting for the download?
Are you going to Settings > Apps > Downloaded, and seeing nothing listed there? I have 52 apps listed there. If you go to the 'All' tab, do you see all your apps including the ones you downloaded or installed from the Play market?
I believe hes going to the Apps list form the home screen and licking on the Download app that in theory wold show any items he has downloaded in his browser.

Yes this is it.
And in parameter, storage, there is 66 mg, in download, but when I hit download, the open window tell me there is nothing.
I am not able to see my download made with my browser.
Also, I try loaderdroid and I can see only folders. I have in download folder apk, pdf, files that I cannot see except with es explorer.
I try loaderandroid, and it is the same, files are not visible in the download folder.
This is going crazy.
I try to change download folder in loaderandroid, and I can see only folders, no content, no files, in any folder!!!!!
I have es explorer, and root browser lite, with these I am able to see files in folder!!!!! with any extension.
What is the problem??????
I just remove es explorer, and root browser lite, thinking that there was maybe a conflict. No luck, without those apps I am not able to see my download......
HELP
Ok now I can confirm that my Downloads icon in All apps screen is not working.
I have apk, pdf, .rar in the /sdcard/download/ folder, and I am not able to see them with the Downloads icon in All apps.
Only way to see them is with es explorer or root browser lite.
Is there a way to reinstall this Download manager apps????
Same problem with loaderandroid. (also not able to see any files, only folders)
How are you loading the files on? Perhaps you are putting them in another downloads folder?

No they are in the good folder. Problem is look like the files are hide for any download manager.
Like I said, no problem with es explorer or root browser lite
I try removing es explorer and rootbrowser lite, and Avast, and still not able to see file in Downloads apps, and Loaderandroid.
But I need to access those files, and without a file managers like es explorer, there is no way to access them except with Downloads from all apps screen, that in my case do not work......
The downloads app isn't meant to show the contents of your downloads folder. It only shows the files you download from your browser.
I'm not sure if it gets cleared automatically at any point, never tested it.
Its the same thing as the downloads tab in chrome on a desktop PC.

Ok with which apps you can see your files already downloaded from your browser? I use firefox, dolphin, and chrome, and I cannot see the files, except with es explorer, an add-on apps. Same problems with loaderandroid a download manager.

Chrome downloads appear in there for me. Haven't used other browsers.
I use es file explorer anyway coz I don't leave stuff in my download folder.

Whenever I open the app drawer and tap the download Icon, I don't see any Files stored there. If I open any File Explorer, I See my Files. Does anybody know why this is happening?
The files that are in the sdcard/download folder show up in the Downloads app. At least for me.
Hello all,
I think i stumbled onto something and want to tell others as it took a while for me to figure it out.
What you need:
ES FILE EXPLORER (from amazon app store, share it with the free time profile)
APP YOU WANT TO SIDELOAD INSTALLED TO PRIMARY PROFILE
GOTOAPP (from amazon app store, share it with the child profile)
Make sure the ES File Explore app is shared to the child profile. And that the app you want to load in freetime mode is installed on the primary profile.
Then go to the child profile, open ES File Explorer.
Click the Apps icon from the homepage, click on the app you want to sideload and then click view app content.
Select all the items and copy them to a new folder in your Downloads folder.
Then select all items inside that folder and zip the files to a .zip file.
After doing so rename the file and change .zip to .apk. Then open the GoToApp and open the docs app from it then select the apk file and enable unknown sources installation and install.
You now have it installed on the freetime profile and can use the GoToApp to load it.

Apps on the parent profile do not show when using ES on the child's profile?? When I open ES on the parent profile the app I want to sideload is there, but go to child's and it isn't. I'm using an HD 10. Thoughts?
