There are multiple locations, but you'll find user apps in /data/app.
Alternatively, you could also use an online APK downloader like this one: https://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/

ES File Explorer will also show you the location of files/folders via the search function.

[MOD][HUB] Shortcut to Files *HELP*

I'm in the process of creating a HUB for my TFP theme for Comics and E-Books.

I'm using Desktop Visualizer to create tile styled shortcuts.
What I want to do is have each tile take me to a folder that lists each of the cbr files I have for that series.
The issues I'm running into are:
1. When attempting to choose Select action there is no option to open a folder. This can be bypassed by using a file explorer such as astro. However this is not attractive to me, I'd prefer something more simple like FO or the default File Manager. Does anyone know if there's a way to link to a program such as WOW Comic Viewer and force it to read a folder?
2. If i choose to use astro to browse to the folder, selecting the cbr files gives a "File type cbr not found." Any way to fix this?
I would like to expand this for movies and music however it just might not be possible. I've tried using Folder Organizer however its more for applications than files. If Folder organizer could sort files it would be perfect granted once clicked on the files, they could launch in my comic book viewer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Don't press a folder icon on the bottom but drag and drop a app from the appd drawer to this folder icon. Then back button then you will be asked to save the folder then confirm and the folder is created with the app inside. Later you can add more apps to the folder by simple drag and drop.

AirDrop on Android

Hello dear XDA Community,
I am currently trying to create a kind of website where you can upload files to my phones local storage.
To do so, I would just make the person that wants to share a file with me log into my phones wifi tethering.
Then they should be able to type some specific address into their searchbar to get to a form where they can upload files straight to my internal storage.
What I´ve tried so far:
I first tested everything on Windows with Apache and xampp.
After that I downloaded an App called Server for PHP.
When I start the server, everything works so far and I can execute my upload php files using chrome and upload files from my storage to a before specified folder.
So I thought that I could just use my secondary phone to connect to the wifi hotspot and type in the address (0.0.0.0:8080), but it can`t load the page.
Have any of you tried something similar before and do you know a way to get it to work?
I will also upload some screenshots and the php files later.
Thanks for your help already!!!

TotalCommander is a 2-pane filemanager since ever.

Yeah I was going to give TotalCommander a try after seeing one video on file managers. Does it feature a right-click menu with cut/paste and can you highlight multiple files using the mouse instead of check boxes?
Anything similar available with native file managers in EMUI desktop, Samsung Dex or Android 11 Desktop modes?
My go-to that I keep coming back to is X-plore. It does what you are asking for, has a decent UI and options to use it with SMB, FTP, cloud storage and a built-in WiFi file server. Always gets the job done too.

Question How to see hidden files on Files App ?

Hi,
I need to put some files in a specific folder under android/data/appname/files/ in order to import them in an App.
I already tried the option "Show hidden files" in the settings of the App but unfortunately it doesn't work.
I tried another App from "File Manager" from F-droid but it doesn't work too.
Does anyone have a solution or a similar behavior ?
Regards,
No one having this issue ? :/
