    Get a file explorer. Mine has a “recent” tab where all the new stuff is. I can also move or copy files easily. Vanilla explorer is not very good but it does have the basics covered. It is annoying not to have a system-wide download dialog though.

    I suspect part of why google’s app is subpar is to promote their cloud storage.

      I use Root Explorer.

      A shocking number of Android devices ship without a file browser installed from the vendor at all. If you want one you have to install it yourself. This is baffling to me.
