How Do I Move Files to Folder on Home Sreen?

[watchingthecat]

I have searched through posts in this forum and haven't come across anything about this. I'm hoping someone can provide an answer or point to an existing posting?

I can create a folder on my home screen and I'm able to move apps or shorcuts into the folder, but I cannot figure out how to move a downloaded file to the this folder (e.g. a PDF or other attachment). I just wan to be able to move all the files I would normally keep (eg. in "My Documents" on a Windows PC) into a easily accessible folder.

I'm pretty tech savvy and understand a Windows file system pretty well, but I find the Android file system difficult to figure out.

Any help would be appreciated.

My Device:
Galaxy Note 10.1 (Model GT-N8010)
Android Version 4.1.2

Thanks,
Susan

I found a way around it using Astro File's widget.

Did you find another way without having to download another app ?

The device's "files" app can be used. Cut and paste works once you have created and named a folder on a home screen. But ES File Explorer does much much more,
