Android move file

I have a file in Downloads that I need to move to a folder used by the relevant app. However samsung's(?) "my files" app doesn't appear able to navigate to that folder.

How do I move the file using the phone itself and WITHOUT using a connected PC? -- 2A00:23CC:D222:4701:9DAE:549F:77B9:C1A3 (talk) 18:39, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Do you see something called "internal storage"? The folder you want may be in there. If not, a different file manager may help.  Card Zero  (talk) 19:20, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"My Files" doesn't defaultedly list the desired destination, even though it lists internal storage.. -- SGBailey (talk) 21:35, 18 September 2024 (UTC) (I post logged on on PC and logged off on phone.)[reply]
try Ghost Commander. I can get to /storage/emulated/0/Download through there. Some other open source ones here Komonzia (talk) 00:09, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
