You might not realize it at a glance, but Android actually allows you to access a device's entire file system - even from the device itself. Here's everything you need to know to get under the hood and tap into your phone's file managing powers.

Your mobile device can carry an awful lot of data, and there may come a time when you want to dig in and deal directly with it. It can even act as a portable hard drive and house any sort of important files you might need in your pocket (and not just on some far-away cloud). It can juggle everything from PDFs and PSDs to presentations and podcasts. After all, your Android device is a productivity powerhouse. We may not come face to face with our phones' file systems too often, but it's valuable to know they're there - and to know how they can work for us when the need arises. Beneath all that surface-level stuff, though, our modern mobile devices are filled with files - folders upon folders of 'em! - just like the clunky ol' computers we've relied upon for ages. When you think about your smartphone, apps and interfaces are probably the first things that come to mind.
