I have rooted my N7 and I am looking to manage space by moving files to USB storage. I used Astro File manager to look for them and I can't find them under MOVIES or DOWNLOADs. Where are they?
If you mean movies from the play store they are in android/data/com.Google.android.videos
Other than that it would help if you said where the videos were from.

Thanks! Yes it was the downloaded videos from the Play store.
Can't find them there.

I've looked there and all I find is folders, files>Movies, and a folder named with random numbers and letters with nothing in it, and a also a blank folder named subtitles (Not it the movies folder). When I logged into my Google account, it gave me a free movie to download (Ice Age 1), and I can't find it there. I think I've looked everywhere.
EDIT: Just found it. The file was somehow hidden from my computer, but not one of my file-browsing apps. Thanks it works now.

Who's 7 came with the movie?
Mine did. I wonder if it's a rental, aka once you open it, you have 24 hrs to view it, or if you downright own the movie?
Its linked onto my youtube. When I went to the site on my computer it said it was purchased
K. Thanx
I can't find it. Where did you go to find it? It won't even show up when I search for it.

Mine is a streaming copy. Tested this by disconnecting my wifi. Maybe there's a way to download it, but I rather not waste storage space on my Nexus 7.
Mine is streaming also. Just open the google movies app and it should be there.

This is what I'm looking at.

To download it, click on the pin in the lower right corner when you open Google Play Movies.
Unfortunately mine did. I did not see that movie for a reason.

Don't download it if you plan on rooting it. If you do a factory reset say goodbye to it forever.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I've downloaded it and also performed 2 factory resets and the movie is still there in my GP account.
I stand corrected... on my ego shift I rented a movie and downloaded it, when I did a factory reset it wouldn't let me play the movie or stream it from YouTube

Just to clarify, you got the $25 credit but not the movie? Did you get the free magazines and music?

I got the $25 credit. I found free 30 and 14 day subscriptions to a couple magazines. I didn't see any free music.

They all have that, you sign into your Google account and open play ,movies. Of course its streaming, these tablets have limited storage. Like said, press the pin if you want it local

cant. sigh..
what i did and i've downloaded a few times is remove the google account on your device, go into location settings and click them all off.. clear the play store and play movies app settings.. then connect to your vpn... then launch your play store, sign in using your existing google account, then open play movies... movie should be there.. pin it for download..

i have a separate question re the movie, i have downloaded it and can watch it in play movies but is there anyway to 'extract' the movie from play movies and watch in mx player or copy onto my pc for watching again? it take up about 2gb of space on the device... i'm guessing its wrapped in drm..
also re other movies in the store.. there only seems to be an option to rent or purchase... can you download other purchases for offline viewing?

Thanks man, it worked! Downloading now. For your question, check out Stickmount. You need to be rooted though. Hope that helps...

If you want to keep a backup, can go to Android/data/com.google.android.videos
and copy the file inside the folder with the very long name.
I don't think our can view it off from outside the tablet itself, but you can give it a try though.

Anyone having more luck here? Since once has DRM-rights to the file, maybe there is a work-around so one can watch the movie elsewhere (as opposed to android os and play-store)?
As you know, box has the 50gb offer for the N4. I added music but it won't stream. How can I stream music using Box?
Bump.................
Bump again
I think you need to just download it...

You don't you have to upload the music to Google servers. Took about a week of 24/7 uploading to get my entire collection (80 GB) onto Google's server.

you just download an app on your desktop and it will upload your music in the background. No need to do anything.
Box is more for files rather than streaming as far as I know.
Install ES File explorer.
Go to the Net tab
Add new Box
Login to the Box account with ES File explorer
Then click to the Folder or MP3 file to stream music.
Hope it will help you.
what about CloudAround?

Anyone know where the free Ice Age download is stored? Looking to copy it to a flash drive but can't find it.
You have to download it first, and id expect the DRM to be pretty darn tough.
But you will want to look here:
/sdcard/android/data/com.Google.android.videos/files/movies

Thanks, that's where it was but it's a wmv file which I've never got to play on the stock player. It starts and runs for a few seconds then errors out.
The file wouldn't play on my PC either, something didn't go well.

Did you download it using the Flixster app from the Play Store? If so, have you used that app to watch other movies? If so, then you must have a bad download. You need to use the Flixster app to play their movies. Not your favorite movie player.
I download from the fixster site on an ultraviolet from a purchased DVD offer
