Once you've located your downloaded files, you can open a file with a tap, or bring up more options with a long-press on the file. If you don't like the default file manager app on your Android phone, or it doesn't have one, download the Files by Google app formerly Files Go from the Play Store. The app is easy to navigate, provides quick access to your downloads folder and helps you free up storage space.
When you open Files by Google, the app will recommend various options like clearing out app caches, removing junk files or deleting backed-up photos from your device.
There's even an AirDrop-like file-sharing feature baked into the app that makes it really easy to share files with someone who is nearby. Once you've installed the app, you can find your downloaded files by selecting the Browse tab at the bottom of the app, then tapping Downloads.
To get the download options, tap on the Share icon in the browsing bar. Email-ready videos can be downloaded directly into the camera roll. Tap on the file to open it in the preview window. Then, select the Save icon, the first one next to the video title. You also have the option to save the video to Google Drive or send it to other destinations such as Files via the share button on the far right. Gmail attachment size caps at 25MB and if the video is larger it needs to be sent via the cloud and downloaded accordingly.
To avoid cloud downloads, you have two options — zip the video or make it smaller. For example, VideoSmaller is a great free service specially designed to reduce the size of the videos taken with your iPhone or Android smartphone.

The new and much-improved Microsoft Edge browser is slowly making inroads on Android, and makes it relatively easy to find your downloads. Firefox makes it just as easy to find your downloads.
