file".Īnd yes, by using a feature in ES File Explorer, I was able to turn on "Show Hidden Files".Īnd you're right: Like I stated in my original post, this HD film file is not in the obvious place, like in the "Movie" folder, or the "Videos" folder.
After reading this here from your post, I went browsing through my Kindle Fire using ES File Explorer, and I think I saw what you meant, that is, files whose names began with a period at the front of the name, e.g., ". OK.I was not aware of the term "*nix style hiding". Hi fratermus & iPatty thanks for your replies! I realize that since I purchased it from Amazon that I can always re-download it again if I wanted to, but, it is a fairly large file and takes quite a while.
#File explorer show hidden folders movie
I want to be able to make a back-up copy of this HD movie file on my desktop computer.
#File explorer show hidden folders mp4
I know I could - if I wanted - transfer a file from my desktop (an MP4 file) and drop it in Movies or Video and then proceed to watch it on my device.ĭoes anyone know if a person were to "root" their Kindle Fire HD and possibly use that ES File Explorer App, would they be able to find/ view that hidden folder to find where HD movies are downloaded to from Amazon? When browsing the Fire's folders within the Windows environment, there are two folders in particular, one called "Movies", the other "Videos": neither of these contain that movie I downloaded. However, after connecting my device to my desktop computer via USB, I cannot find that movie file.
My device used to have about 12GB's of free space, and now after downloading the HD movie file, it now has about 4GB free space.
I had downloaded an HD movie from Amazon to my Kindle Fire HD, and when I say download, I mean the file is physically downloaded to my device, it's not "in the cloud". As far as I understand, wouldn't this allow you to "see" hidden folders/ files? You're probably also aware how you can "root" your Kindle (though Amazon doesn't approve of this!!!), and also use an App known as ES File Explorer. You know how you can connect your Kindle device to your desktop computer via a USB cable? You can do that to "slow" charge it, or, to side-load files onto it.Īnd just to let you know, my desktop's OS is Windows 8.1Īnyway.when the Fire HD is connected to a desktop via a USB, you know how you can open "My Computer" and then see your Kindle device there, and then open it up and browse the folders from there? We'll.since the Kindle Fire is a tablet based on the Android OS, you can't see all folders/ files, like they're hidden.
