Thanks for your input!!

Yes, I did that, thanks!!!

Yes, thanks, that's what I'll do - use Files by Google - nice simple app.

Yeah, I agree - there is certainly a bug in the "My Files" app.

Unfortunately, after restarting the phone - the same behavior remains: renaming a downloaded .mov file causes it to immediately disappear from the Download folder; and a system-wide search for the renamed file shows no results. I do have an SD card. I removed it - still the same behavior.

Hey!! When I long press on the file, tap the 3 dots, and click on "Show in folder" - it goes to the Internal storage/Downloadfolder - but the file is not there. And again, when I search for the file in "My Files" - I get "No results found".

Yes, in "My Files" - if I rename the .mov file - it disappears from the folder its in (eg the Download folder). But I do see the renamed file in "Recent files" - and when I click details - it says the file is still in the Download folder, though when I check again the Download folder, it's not...

Hey mustang7757! Thanks for your suggestion! I tried that; but still after choosing to show hidden files in the settings of "My Files" - a .mov file renamed by "My Files" cannot be found (no results). Neither can "Files by Google" find the renamed file; unless I rename the file using "Files...

Thanks so much for your help! Problem solved!! I installed "Files by Google", as per your suggestion. With this app, I am now able to rename a .mov file, without the file disappearing from its folder. And "Files by Google" is also able to search and find renamed .mov files (but only if I...

Yes, on my Note 9, I am able to play .mov files - if I can find them :) But thanks for your time and your help! I am going to take your suggestion and I am going to try a 3rd party file manager. I'll report back on what happens. Thanks again!!

Could it be that android 10 has a problem with .mov files? I downloaded the same file on my Samsung Note 3 - but when the file appears in the "Download" folder of my Note 3, it shows up with a .mov.qt extension, instead of a .mov extension. (The email from which I download the file only shows...

Hi! Even after clearing the app data (and the cache) - same thing happens - when I try to rename the file, the file disappears from the folder it is in.

Thanks so much for taking your time trying to help. I did that - clearing the cache - but still, I get no results when searching for the newly named file. And I verified that the file is still in the "Movies" folder.

I use the stock Samsung "My Files" app. I go to "My Files", and at the top right hand corner, there is a search icon - where I input the file name. The file with the original file name - will be found if searched. But after I change the file name; - when I search for the file with the new file...

Yes, I am using My Files to rename the video file. Yes, you are right - if I move the file to another directory, like /Movies; and rename the file there - the file does not disappear after renaming. But still, a system wide search for the new file name shows no results. When I move the newly...
