Download Location for Nest Videos on Android Phone (Samsung)

[jc8]

I have a Nest camera and the Google Home app installed on an Android device (Samsung).  I know *how* to download Nest videos from history to my device, but I do not know *where* the video is being saved.  I would like to know the exact path to the folder on my Android device where the video is being saved.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

1.  Go to video in History and select "Event Details"

2.  Click the Download Arrow at the top of the screen.

3.  I see messages at the bottom of the screen such as "Downloading" and then "Download Complete"

4.  I look in the Downloads folder on my Android device, but the video is not there.  Where is it?

OK... So after further digging I have found out if you swipe up to show all your apps...  then y click on the search bar and type in Files...  I found an app called My Files.  Once opened I chose Videos and my clips were there.   If I then open the video I chose share... then "Share to apps" section will show Google Photos.  This let me upload to Google Photos.

Terrible setup if you ask me.  Why not just provide the option to chose download location from the app?

I found it, thank you!  I agree, it would be nice to choose the download location instead of having to guess which folder it arbitrairly landed in.  Anyway, for future people who might come to this thread, the exact path for me was /Internal storage/video/
