We tell you where the files and data downloaded to your smartphone from the Internet are located.

Every owner of a smartphone based on the operating Android systems At least once I encountered a problem when I could not find a downloaded file in the depths of the system. Many simply do not know where they end up and are scratching their heads. We decided to figure this out once and for all.

In fact, everything is very simple - if you download a file from the network, it can be found in the “Download” folder. Depending on version operating system and user interface, its location may change.

To find a folder, you need to use the preinstalled one or download any other file manager, for example, “ES Explorer” or File Manager” from the developer Flashlight + Clock. IN Google Play there are a lot of such applications. Then just use the search or manually check other directories. Our target is the Download folder, where all downloaded data is stored.

Using “ES Explorer” as an example, you can either use the search or go to Menu - Local Storage - Home Folder. You can find the required directory here.

Using the “File Manager” as an example, everything is much simpler - on the main screen of the program there is a “Downloads” section, where all saved data is stored.

If your smartphone has a memory card installed, downloaded data can be automatically saved to it. Finding them is also extremely simple - you need to go to the Download directory in the memory card.

How to select a folder to download files?

In some cases, the user wants to independently indicate the path where the file downloaded from the Internet should go. This can be done, but with a high degree of probability you will have to use new browser. Google Chrome, which comes pre-installed on all Android devices, does not provide this option.

UC Browser is suitable for these manipulations. It is worth noting that initially it will download files to the UCDownloads folder, but you can manually select the download directory in the browser settings: Settings - Downloads - Download Path. Here you need to select a folder and save the settings.

While browsing the Internet on your Android device or iOS, you may come across a page that you want to save to your phone or cloud drive.

There are several ways to save a webpage as a PDF file, which you can then save to your built-in storage or sync your device with a cloud service such as Dropbox or Google Drive. You can also save articles in the offline reading app or send the entire page text by email.

Bookmarking a webpage in Safari for iPhone or iPad saves no more than the page's URL, and if you lose network connection- you will receive an error message.

The benefit of iOS's list reader feature is that it can take a functional snapshot of any web page, save it to your phone's local storage for offline reading, and sync it with all other iCloud-connected devices.

To open your reading list, click the Bookmarks button (the button that looks like open book), and then click the Reading List tab (the icon that looks like reading glasses).

Note. Adding a webpage to your reading list will not necessarily save it forever. If the device is online, if the page disappears from the Internet, you will receive a "page not found" error message. If you go back to offline mode, the reading list usually reverts to the old, “cached” version.

Load a webpage in Chrome (Android only)

If you're using Chrome for Android, there's an easy way to download web pages for offline reading.

Unlike iOS's list reader feature, Chrome doesn't sync downloaded web pages to other Android devices. But Chrome treats saved web pages as snapshots you took when you loaded the web page, even if it has been modified or removed from the Internet.

Save a webpage as PDF (Android and iOS)

While a web page added to an iOS reading list or downloaded in Chrome will look largely identical to its online version on the web, PDF version the same page may differ from the original. A PDF web page is essentially a digital printout, meaning it is saved regardless of what happens to the online version of the page.

You can create a PDF version of any webpage on your Android or iOS device, but the methods are slightly different.

When Android finishes creating preview page you want to save, click the "Save to" drop-down menu at the top of the page. Select "Save to" Google Drive" to download the PDF to your account or click " Save as PDF " to save the file to your phone's local storage.

Now go to Google Drive to view the saved page (look under Recent if you're not sure which drive directory you saved the file to) or tap Downloads in the app to find the file in your phone's local storage.

For iOS: There is no "Save as PDF" option in the iOS Print menu, but there are PDF apps with a "Save PDF" option under the Action button.

Open a webpage in Safari, click the Action button (the square button with an upward arrow), click the Save PDF button on the top bar.

If you're a Dropbox user, the "Save to Dropbox" option under the iOS Action button will save web pages as PDFs to your account Dropbox.

Send article text via email (iOS only)

You can select all the text on a web page and paste it into email. However, there is an easier way in iOS.

Open the article, click the "View" button (the three-line button on the right side of the address bar at the top of the screen. Can't see address bar? Try pulling the page until it appears).

Click the Action button (the square button with an arrow at the bottom of the screen), then Mail.

Safari will insert the entire version of the article message Email, with link above. All you need to do is select the recipient and click the "Send" button.

Save a "uncluttered" version of a web page (Android and iOS)

The best way to archive web article text is to use special application for offline reading that saves later web articles.

Some of the best apps for offline reading include Instapaper, Pocket, and Readability.

The best offline reading apps can have cloud storage to synchronize saved articles between multiple devices, as well as bookmarking tools that you will find in Android menu"Share" and iOS "Action".

Articles you save using the offline reading app will be saved even if the original web page is changed or taken down.

Knowing your device and its system settings will always be useful for any user. There come moments when you can use them to your advantage and even save the performance of the device.

An Android smartphone has many hidden folders, which store all data, including information about the browser’s operation (history, bookmarks, passwords). Therefore, saving a bookmark in Google Chrome means saving a link to it in the system directory.

This is useful for the following reasons and the folder in Android where Chrome files with saved links are stored can be used for the following purposes:

• Cleaning files so as not to delete the necessary information (just select from a large sorted list that is stored and delete unnecessary files);
• Sorting or grouping (you can do this in three clicks via a computer or through the Android file manager);
• View the date the bookmark was added and its address, so as not to click on the link.

This all means that if there is a mess in your list of saved sites, or an accidentally added link, it will be easier to find it and then either sort everything or delete unnecessary data using multi-selection.

Location where Google Chrome files are stored on your smartphone

Before specifying the path to the folder, it should be mentioned that it is hidden by the system and the developers do not recommend that you have free access to such folders. If used incorrectly, it can impair the performance of not only Google apps Chrome, but also the Android firmware itself.

But if this doesn’t stop you, then you can only get the “open” path on a rooted device.

The folder itself with full list all bookmarks that were added via mobile app Google Chrome is located at the following path: “/data/data/com.android.browser/databases/browser.db”.

But you will most likely stop at the second “Data” and then there will be emptiness. It is obtaining root rights that will allow you to see hidden files.

Getting root rights in a working way

To get root rights you need the phone itself, a computer and installation of the Kingo program Android ROOT", which is freely available on the Internet. First, download it to your computer or laptop and then step by step:

After completing the driver installations and system files– we reboot the phone and we are already a full-fledged user of our smartphone.
