Hello folks,
I've got an .apk file on my sd card. To install that app, i need to unmount my SD-Card. Therefor i cannot install my app - which is located on the sd card - anymore. I want to do it without the market. I already tried to move the file with the astro-manager to the mnt folder (which you can still see even you unmounted your sd card). But i couldn't copy the file with astro to this folder.
Any suggestions?
Try AppInstallerV2
You may need to move files .apk to a PC via Wi-Fi.
I do this.
Move. Apk file to pc.
Run ES File Explorer on MINI connection WiFi to PC part to .apk.
Click to .apk.
ES File Explorer to install the files. Apk by way of it to Phone.
Or do it using the adb install command.
Have a look here for ADB Infos.
Upload apk to DropBox, copy link, paste in Browser and install
*ouch* Why didnt i have this idea?
Thanks codiak that worked
i used this command ( just for other users which have the same problem as me )
adb install path/on/windows/myfile.apk

Google? First hit: http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-estrongs-android-pop-znE.aspx
I think it is not pre-installerd, only Astro file manager.
I downloadad a .jpg file from Dropbox, but can't find it. I'm using Astro to search. Help, please.
ooorah
it defaults to the dropbox folder on the root of the internal storage.
if the jpg was in a subfolder on your dropbox account, it will be in that subfolder.

In most cases you can't open a file from the dropbox folder by using a file explorer.
Open the Dropbox app and navigate to the folder you saved it to in Dropbox. Select the file (long press) and it will give you the options.
You can use another app (Dropsync) to synchronize your dropboxfiles with your tablet.
A little confusing because Dropbox doesn't actually 'store' your files on each device (only metadata or something like that) unless you tell it to 'download' the file.
Hope this helps.
Dropbox downloads
I found the file! Thanks to you who replied.

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.

I am using the native built-in fileapp (My Files) on my S4 GTi9505 and I cannot see the System/APP folder or directory.
When I had ES File explorer, then I was able to see those system files.
The reason I took off ES File Explorer, is because I did not need to have two file managers on my phone. Its just waste of space.
And I think the native My Files app is much user friendy and has a nice GUI.
I am not planning to tweak anything of the System folders in there, I just want to check out something.
Is there a hidden folder option that might be enabled or something?
Thanks!

Well Stock file manager will have linited options only and u have to use 3rd party file manger to see those files like es file / solid explorer / root file manager etc
and ya too edit there u need Root also
Are you serious? Why on earth would Samsung let you access or even view the protected system folders on their stock file manger? Silly

Use Root Explorer. The default Samsung file manager will never allow you to access root/sensitive partitions and folders. Anyway, external file manager apps don't really occupy alot of space.
With LeCloud no longer in existence the File Manager is kind of pointless unless I can add other storage areas. Anyone know how to add OneDrive, iCloud, Google Drive, etc...
Thanks in advance for you help.
Cheers
Use Solid Explorer.
xplore surpport onedrive , google drive , mega , dropbox , pcloud etc... Just not surpport icloud .
