Using the Downloads App
Open the Downloads app. It’s a white cloud icon with an arrow on a blue background. You’ll usually find it in the app drawer on most Androids running Nougat (7.0) or later. If you don’t see this app, see this method.
Tap ☰. It’s at the top-left corner of the screen.
Tap the folder with the file you want to move. This opens the contents of the folder.
Tap the file you want to move. This selects the file and displays additional icons at the top of the screen.

Tap Move to…. A list of drives and locations will appear.
Tap the destination. If you want to move the file to your Google Drive, select it, then tap the folder where you want to move the file.
Tap Move. It’s at the bottom-right corner of the screen. The file will now appear in its new location.
Using a File Manager
Open your Android’s file manager. If you’re using a Samsung, the app is called My Files and you’ll find it in the app drawer. The app is usually called File Manager or File Browser on other Androids. If you don’t have a file manager app, see this method. If that doesn’t work for you, you can download a free file manager from the Play Store.
Tap the location of the file you want to remove. The contents of the selected folder will appear.
Tap and hold the file you want to move. This selects the file in most file managers. Other file browsers only require you to tap the file once to select it.
Tap ⁝. It’s at the top-right corner of most file managers.
Tap Move. A list of locations will appear.
Tap the destination. If you want to move the file to your Google Drive, select it, then tap the folder where you want to move the file.
