• Opening the Android Files app


Only one app is specifically granted access by the Android platform to manage files inside the "Android/data" folder: the AOSP Files app. This used to be easily accessible via a launcher icon in your app drawer, but on Pixel devices at least, that icon is gone in favor of the preloaded Files by Google app. However, it's still present on the device and it can still be launched.

Option 1: Open up the system Settings, then navigate to Storage and click "Files"

Option 2: Download this Files app from the Play Store, which is really just a shortcut to open the AOSP files app.

• Copying and moving files from data folder to outside

:- Chose the files & click on three dot menu (upper right corner) now you can see copy file & move file option


• Copying and moving files into the folder



:- Getting content into the folder is a bit trickier, but still possible. If you follow the same steps above, you'll notice that when selecting the "Android" directory, "data" is completely missing. What an unfortunate oversight on Google's part!

Thankfully, you can also drag and drop files into the folder from the main file manager view, which works fine. So, in order to get content into the "Android/data" folder:

Step 1 : Move your desired file(file which you want to move inside the data folder) into Android folder

Step 2 : Tap and hold on the selected items to enter drag-and-drop mode.

Move your finger over the "Android" folder, then the "data" folder.

Keep moving your finger through the folder hierarchy, and once you're inside the folder that the files will be placed into, release your finger.



Hope it will help to someone ✌️
