When I use the Windows operating system, my files always end up in the Downloads folder in File Explorer by default. What is the equivalent to the Downloads folder for the Amazon Firestick? I have downloaded apps on Firestick but don’t know where I am supposed to be opening them. Resolution:
Firestick Download Folder
There is no Get Help option for Amazon, but getting access to the location of your apps on the Firefstick only takes a few quick steps. The Amazon Firestick comes with a built-in file manager that you access on your TV. Here is how to do it:
1. Turn on the Fire TV and scroll down to Your Apps & Games.
2. Press See All from the menu.
3. You now see a list of all the apps you have downloaded on the Firestick. The most recent apps go to the end of the list.
That is all you have to do to find your files on the Firestick. However, you may also reposition them if you prefer. By default, the most recent file downloaded ends up at the end of the list. You can change it so that the most recent file is at the start of the list instead if you like. To do this, press the button with the lines on your remote control, and then from the main menu, press Move to the front.
If you like, you can install an additional File Manager app to have a file manager/file explorer on the Amazon Firestick. There are several file managers to choose from. The choice is up to you. However, we can offer some insight into the most popular choices at the moment: ES File Explorer, X-Plore File Manager, Amaze File Manager, TV Explorer, and Apps 2 Fire. Undoubtedly, the most popular one is the ES File Explorer so that is the one we would recommend.
In conclusion, that is how to get access to the Downloads folder on the Amazon Firestick.
