How to find hidden files on Android – description
In this article, you’ll be acquainted with how to find hidden files on Android phones. Android has the option to hide folders and files in it. To do this, simply create a so-called “Nomedia” file in the appropriate directory. So far so good, but what if you now want to see the hidden folder or files in it again? Android apps cannot find hidden folders or files. Luckily, there are third-party file viewer apps that have more features and functionality than the My Files app for Android.
Now we will explain how to find hidden files on Android smartphones.
First, download the free “Es File Explorer” from the Google Play Store.
This explorer makes all folders and files visible. Also a folder with “Nomedia files”. After downloading ES Explorer, open it on your Android smartphone. If you know the path to the folder, then you can open it now as usual. If you don’t know where the folder is stored, you can also use the search function at the bottom of the screen.
Now you know a very handy solution for finding hidden files and folders on Android smartphones.
