Many tablet owners who have not yet really mastered all the nuances of using it often encounter certain problems when trying to download a file they are interested in from the Internet, delete it, or, for example, try to launch it. So, first of all, let's figure out how to find the downloadable file in the tablet.
When downloading an application, music file, video clip or simple text document, you probably wonder where exactly they will be stored in memory and how to view the downloads on your tablet. Things are very simple - for all content downloaded from the Internet there is a special Downloads folder, which, among others, you can always find in the Explorer of your tablet. This is where all the files that you download from the global network are sent to. You can also access it in the tablet’s application menu; there is a separate application for it called Downloads
.
What to do if downloads do not open on your tablet, you ask. After all, it often happens that the downloaded file may have an unusual format. And here the main thing is to figure out what kind of format it is and what program supports it. Let's assume for a downloaded book in .fb2 format. you will need to find and install some simple program, like FBReader, to open the .pdf format you will need Adobe Reader, and, for example, to play music in the .flac format - the andLess player. In other words, don’t get lost and try to choose the right program for each file.
Also, some tablet users sometimes wonder how to remove downloads from their tablet. And there is nothing complicated about it. Just go to the same Downloads folder, where, as we remember, all downloaded files are stored, then check off the ones that we plan to erase, and in the menu that appears, select the picture with the basket. After a few seconds, the selected files will be deleted, unless, of course, they are currently in use. Therefore, before you try to clear downloads, make sure that the book you are deleting is not open in the reader program, and the song you are erasing is not playing in your player.
As you can see, there is nothing difficult in figuring out where to watch downloads from the Internet on your tablet, how to make a file with an unusual format work, and how to delete all previously downloaded applications, documents and media files.
The Android operating system is significantly different from the Windows OS. For example, if when downloading a file on Windows we choose the download folder ourselves, then in the case of Android we use one storage. Where exactly are the files downloaded? Let's figure it out.
Where are downloaded files stored?
If we are talking about files that users download from the network, then the Download folder is usually used for them. To find it, you need to use any file manager, for example, ES Explorer, as in our case.
Go in and look for the Download folder. Please note: if you have a memory card installed, a Download folder can be automatically created on it, where downloaded files are placed.
And here is the downloaded file in the Download folder.
Where are APK files stored?
We've sorted out the downloaded files. Now let's move on to an even more interesting question - where are APK files downloaded? Of course, they are also stored in the file system, but you can’t easily access them - you need to get them, and the latter, as you know, “remove” the device from warranty. Keep this in mind if you decide to root your device.
As in the previous case, we will need a file manager. Launch it, if necessary, grant it the necessary rights. Then follow the path /Data/App - downloaded files with APK resolution are stored here. Please note that the path may be different depending on your file system.
Actually, here are the files themselves.
They can even be copied and installed if desired, although it is better not to do anything with them at all to avoid any possible problems.
There are many inexperienced Android smartphone users. That's why we decided to show you how to find downloaded files on your smartphone. To view them you will need a file manager. As a rule, shells from various manufacturers already include built-in solutions, but in my case I still have to install it. So, we'll start by looking for the best file manager. I prefer Cabinet Beta - convenient and stylish. After installing the application, you will be able to view any files on your smartphone.

How to open the downloads folder on your computer
In order to open the folder with your saved files from the Yandex browser, you must first open the “ Downloads ” tab. It is opened using the keyboard shortcut “ Ctrl + J ” or from a dialog box launched in the browser. It is the second option that we will now consider in more detail.
- Open the Yandex browser on your computer and go to the pop-up menu. It opens at the top of the screen by simply clicking on the button with three bars. Then in the menu select the line “ Downloads».

- Next, in the menu that opens, click on the line “Downloads».
- Done, now you are in Yandex browser downloads, which you can also sort by date or size for convenience.

How to access downloads on iPhone
The only thing you can do is download pictures from the browser, which are automatically moved to the device’s gallery. There are also workarounds such as installing third-party software through which files are downloaded.
Now you know how to view downloads in the Yandex browser. To do this, you need to go to the “Downloads” tab on your computer and open the folder with the saved files from there, or immediately open the downloads from the browser on your phone.
Newbies may wonder if storing and retrieving downloads is very similar on Android and PC.
They are quite similar, so it will be easy to understand them.
If you click on a link that leads to downloading a file, then there are two possible ways to open it:
- the file will open immediately on a new browser page;
- will be downloaded to your mobile device, after which you can view it.
Opening files in the Yandex Browser itself occurs extremely rarely, only if the file has a format supported by the application. If a discrepancy in the format is detected (the file can be downloaded on a computer, but not on the phone version), then instead of opening it in the browser, the file is downloaded . Starting from the moment of loading, an icon appears, under which there is an indicator showing the remaining time until the final loading.
Note! The Yandex application always conducts a thorough check of downloaded documents to determine how safe it is and whether there are virus bodies in it. If there is inappropriate content, you will be warned.
Close multiple tabs
By default, closing the browser does not close all tabs. To enable this feature:
- Click the icon in the browser (if there is no icon, click the menu button on the smartphone).
- Select Settings.
- In the Advanced section, enable the option Close tabs when exiting the browser.
If you want to manually close multiple tabs:
- Click the icon to enter tab navigation mode.
- Touch and hold a tab.
- Select the context menu item: Close tabs above, Close tabs below, Close other tabs or Close all tabs.
Where are downloaded files stored?
To find your downloaded file from Yandex Browser on your phone, you need to go to the “My Files” folder (it is not located in the browser itself, but in the menu of the Android device itself).
Among them, find the “Downloads” or “Download” folder. In this folder you will find not only the file downloaded in Yandex.Browser, but also all the others downloaded from the Internet (if you have not changed the location where downloads are saved, which is set by default).

Folder for saving files from Yandex

If you find it inconvenient or completely unacceptable to look into the “Downloads” folder every time, trying to find your file, then you can easily change the folder in which downloads are saved.
To change the folder for saving downloads, you must:
- get to the quick menu (icon in the form of three dots or horizontal parallel stripes);
- view the list that appears and at the very bottom find the option called “Advanced settings”;
- then go to the “Downloaded files” block, where you need to change the folder for storing downloads by clicking the “Change” button.

Method 6: Reinstalling the browser
During operation, the browser collects various information - cache, cookies, history, etc. It changes settings and installs extensions. This can have a negative impact on both its individual functions and the entire operation as a whole. Try resetting your browser, and if that doesn't help, uninstall and reinstall it.
