accessing downloads

[Christopher Gilliam]

So the download icon is gone on the most recent beta anyone know a way to get to those without downloading a app or going through the settings

Which phone are you using? Does your phone have a file manager app? If so, open it and look in the Download folder.

pixel 2xl yes the only why I know to get to it is to go through the settings- storage - files

On the original Pixel XL there is a Files app. I believe it was called Downloads on O.

 

[Christopher Gilliam]

yes there was one on the pixel XL 2 until this last beta update now it's gone

Strange it's not available on the 2 but is on original. How about the Google Files Go app? I know you don't want another app download but that's all I got.

Files Go is actually a pretty decent too. Doesn't do much, but what it does, it does well.

The app drawer. Swipe up twice from the home screen.

My files app is still there on the final Pie release but I do remember it being called Downloads on Oreo.
