A
Android Central Question
Question:
How do I add a shortcut to the "Dowloads" folder to my homescreen (without rooting my device or installing any 3rd-party apps)? Is there an APK for the Downloads shortcut that I can install?
Background:
I have 2 devices: The first (Android 7) has a shortcut/app called "Downloads" that immediately opens the downloads folder when tapped. The second (Android 8) has no such shortcut/app. Instead, the downloads folder is accessbile only via the "Settings" app. More importantly, there's no way to add "Downloads" to my homescreen, which is my objective. I tried adding the "Settings" widget to my homescreen, but there was no option to create a shortcut to "Storage."
Thanks, in advance.
