You get a "This type of file can harm your device" prompt that you need to accept with ok or deny with cancel to stop the download process. Recent versions of the web browser display a short confirmation that a file has been downloaded successfully.
The confirmation goes away after a short period, and it may not be clear how to access the downloaded file. If you bring down the notifications area of the device, you will see the downloads listed there as a single entry. A tap on a single download listed there launches the file. What happens depends on the file.
You get a prompt if the file is an apk or executable file for instance. Most files, media for instance, are opened in the default viewer application or a prompt is displayed what to do with that file type. Chrome's Download Manager on Android is bare bones.

You may use the Files app on your Android device to manage downloaded files better. Just open it on your device, e. Tap on the Menu icon in the top left corner and select Downloads to display only downloaded files.
Here you may select the menu next to individual files to interact with them, e. Some Android devices come with a Downloads app. Design and layout of the app depends largely on the manufacturer of the device. Windows 10 November Update. Apple Self Service Repair.
