My samsung s3 loses videos

Samsung s3. I downloaded about 5 files. They played well for a while, then they
all disappeared. This has happened about 4 or five times.
Please help.

Welcome to Android Central! Do they disappear from the Downloads "app"? Have you used My Files to look directly in the Download directory, to see if the files are still there?

Some Downloads apps have an option to show only apps downloaded within a certain time period (like the past week or past month). If you tap Menu, there should be an option to show all downloads.
