Android Question Where is https downloaded file using Google's Files / Google's File Manager apps?

[johnaaronrose]

I've used the code in https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...-from-server-with-progress.126797/post-793290 post #1 to do a https download with progress.
I've set the folder to copy to as File.DirInternal. When I Compile&Run the app, the file is shown in the Log as copied to folder:
/data/user/0/org.mywire.johnrose.httpsexample/files
Where is that file using Google's Files / Google's File Manager apps?

Your app internal folder can be read and write only from your app.

Thanks. I would like to be able to have the app write to a folder (not an external SD card) so that another app / Google Files / Google File Manager can read it. It would also be good if this could be applicable to any version of Android from say 5.
What reference (i.e. not File.DirInternal) should I use for the folder?

You can save to RuntimePermissions.GetSafeDirDefaultExternal. File managers can see this folder.

Better option is to use the "SaveAs" code and let the user choose the destination.

Example: [B4X] TextEditor - Save and load external files

Thanks, Erel. It worked and saved to, in Google's Files: Internal storage/Android/data/ etc.
