download folder

[tcarron50]

New to nexus10. Downloaded Photos direct from my camera using Nexus media importer and an OTG cable.
However photos ended up in download file in the internal storage and in the download folder in Apps.
Cannot get them back to gallery folder.Even tried to email them back to myself but get <could not send attachment >message.
Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated.
Do I need anything else such as a file management app.?

You can either connect the device to the computer and browse the SD directory and manually move the files from the download folder to an appropriate file you designate. This can also be done on the device with a file explorer, such as Astro - Play Store or ES File Explorer - Play Store.

I would recommend ES File Explorer of the two. Search "file manager" on Google Play and you'll see more results.

Thanks for reply.
Do not have photos on SD card anymore. Only in download file in internal storage and download folder.
Therefore need to access the file somehow.
Tried Astro but it tells me that folders are empty although I have seen them there when I open app.
Anything else I can do?

When you open the Astro make sure you are navigating to the right directory. There shouldu be two directories: 1. Internal Storage (Internal SD) and 2. External Storage (External SD). If you don't see the files open the view preferences and see if you can enable "view all files".

When I open Astro I select my files. Now there are three tabs-my files :storage :SD.
All have the same folders one of which is-downloads- All the download folders are empty.
As I said I am new to android and to using file management software so please give step by step instructions if I am doing it wrong.
Thanks

It seem like you are doing it right. Can you manually move the photos without using a file manager? That would be the best way to do it and set where you want the images to go.

I took a look at the app and you should be able to browse the destination for move and copy operations. Check the Advanced tab for these operations.

Welcome to the forums!
Have you figured out your dilemma yet?

Not as yet. Can you offer any advise.
I would have thought you could easily get at the photos in the default folder. Obviously not.

You are using the Nexus Media App from the Play Store, right? Nexus Media Importer - Play Store

There should be an advanced tab or menu that should give you mroe options.

I would have thought a file explorer app would have helped. Could you post a screenshot of the file directory?

Tried Astro which is a file explorer. It cannot locate the photos although the download folder is there

Have come to the conclusion that the download folder only contains information of the images and not the photos themselves. Could I be right? Has this happened to anyone else?
