Teams for Android Download Location
There is a picture that I need off a chat. I click the image and then select save. I see a message that the file is downloading. Where does it go? I have looked around in files on my phone and cannot find it.
I found the download files here:
Internal Storage>Android>data>com.microsoft.teams>files>Download
- shlksCopper ContributorCouldn't find my downloaded file anywhere really. Checked below locations
1. Download folders on internal and external storage
2. /storage/emulated/0/Microsoft Teams
3. Onedrive -> Microsoft Teams Chat Files folder which has some recent files but not my currently downloaded file.
This has been made overly difficult for a user to locate ...just a file 😞 - yamama81Copper ContributorHow can I download the videos after recording, from my android mobile?

Hello yamama81 AFAIK, that's not possible right now but you might want to vote on the Uservoice item asking for this feature: Why there is no option to download the recorded meatings in the android version. – Welcome to UserVoice!
- DeletedI think the download location is "Android/data/com.microsoft.teams/files/Download"

ScreaminScott is correct, the file is where they say it is, but my problem is that Android 14 doesn't let me access that folder through the Samsung "My Files" app, or through a 3rd party file manager app I like to use called "File Commander".
The way I solved the problem for myself was to open the video attachment in Teams Android mobile app, hit the < "Share" button while watching the video. When asked where to share it to, I selected More Apps and picked the file manager app that I have installed, in my case File Commander. File Commander popped up with my list of folders in the Android internal storage, I tapped "Downloads" and tapped OK.
So that's how I got it to work for me on Android 14, Samsung S24 Ultra, One UI 6.1, in September 2024. I'm sure this will be subject to change as OS or UI updates come along, so YMMV.
Thank you again, ScreaminScott for getting me closer to the answer!
- Jo_JacobsCopper ContributorThis isn't working for me

Thank you, ScreaminScott, that is one of the most unintuitive places for a Teams download. (I'm not blaming you 😉 Why on earth it doesn't use the default download location beats me. I can understand that there may be different setups on phones and they wanted to have a location that will definitely be there - but surely it can check for a default download folder first and if it is not found put it in this obscure folder.
- Bassam_GemayelCopper ContributorIt is your default Download location
/storage/emulated/0/Download for example
