How do i download files to my phone

In Samsung's My Files app, tap on the three-dot menu icon and then select "Sort by. Once you've located your downloaded files, you can open a file with a tap, or bring up more options with a long-press on the file. If you don't like the default file manager app on your Android phone, or it doesn't have one, download the Files by Google app formerly Files Go from the Play Store. The app is easy to navigate, provides quick access to your downloads folder and helps you free up storage space.

When you open Files by Google, the app will recommend various options like clearing out app caches, removing junk files or deleting backed-up photos from your device. Check out our guides on how to use Duplicate Sweeper to remove duplicate files from Google Drive , and how to delete duplicate photos in Google Photos.

If you're not logged into your Google account already, click " Go to Google Drive " and enter your details. Select all the files that you wish to download. You can hold the "ctrl" key on your keyboard while clicking multiple files to select many files at once. If you are using a Mac, use "cmd" instead of "ctrl". Click the menu icon in the top-right corner of the window to access More Actions.

Click " Download ". In the Finder sidebar on your Mac, select your iPhone. Connect iPhone to your Windows PC. Another common file type you might want to try to open on your phone is a ZIP file. The good news is, thanks to the Files app, you can now download and save ZIP files onto your phone. The downside is that there is currently no way to uncompress — or unzip — those files directly on your iPhone.

But more on that later. Some ZIP files are just compressed folders of multiple images or videos, while others are a little more complex.

Downloading MP4s and other videos to your iPhone is a bit different than downloading other files. Most files can only be opened with a specific app, but with videos, you can save them in your photo library, the Files app, or in one of your cloud services.

The file is now in your iCloud Drive and will be available for easy access across all your devices, such as your computer, your iPhone, iPad, etc. The steps mentioned above work great if the file you are trying to download is available publicly from a website. But things can get a little tricky if you are trying to download a file or document that is stored on a password-protected website.

Here is how to use it to download a file from a password-protected site. The Documents app will automatically prompt you to save that file. Tap Done when ready to save the document. From Documents 5, you will then be able to move it to iCloud or Dropbox, or Google Drive, for example.

You will also be able to share it via email.
