I am, as usual, failing to explain things!
I have d/l some items using chrome on my android, I can see them/access them from the downloads app. There is a folder on the android called "download", which I can navigate to from both PC and using android app File Manager HD. However, that folder is (apparently) empty using both navigation methods. So I am trying to figure out where on the device these files are.
Yeah, that's what I thought you were saying. I'm at a bit of a loss there to be honest, Chrome definitely downloads to the folder Download and you can't even configure that anywhere so it's not like you could have it doing something else. If I look at my Download folder I can see all the stuff I've downloaded via Chrome just sitting there, and that's always been the case across all my Android devices.
The only thing to note is that the Downloads app will show you pretty much everything you've downloaded even if you've subsequently deleted it from the file system using a file manager app but that's not what's going on here because you can still open these files from your Downloads app which obviously you wouldn't be able to do if they were somehow deleted.
As you've got a Nexus device it's not even as if you could be looking at a folder on an external SD card or anything, you've only got one file store to worry about. Let me install that File Manager HD app and see if I can replicate what you're seeing somehow...
