Android file manager.Android devices include a built-in file manager typically called "My Files" or just "Files." It can be used to access downloads and unzip files. There are many third-part file manager apps available in the Play Store.

One of Android’s best features is its file system and file manager apps. You don’t have to wonder what’s taking up space—it’s all accessible to you. We’ll show you where to find certain things, and share some great file managers.

Where Is the File Manager on Android?

The built-in file manager on Samsung Galaxy devices is called “My Files,” while Google Pixel phones and some other Android phones use the “Files by Google” app. Regardless of device, the file manager is typically named something like “My Files” or just plain “Files,” and it can be found in the app drawer.

Another way to find the file manager is to install an app called “Files Shortcut.” As the name implies, this app is simply a shortcut to the stock file manager found on every Android device. It will probably look different than the file manager included by your phone’s maker. There are no permissions required for the app—it’s literally just a shortcut.
