Unable to view files (copied from computer) I've been trying to transfer some apk files from my computer to my Galaxy Nexus.  From the information I read, transferring files from PC to android smartphone is supposed to be as easy as drag and drop. I connected my phone to the computer via usb cable, chose MTP option, allow unknown sources installation, and I can access the internal storage of my phone (DCIM, Download folders, etc) just fine.
Then I copied the apk files to a folder (say, Download), disconnect the phone from the computer. On the phone, go into downloads folder and I cannot see the apk files at all !   

I dont have any file manager installed, could that be the problem ? How can I install my first file manager through pc ?

Go to the play store and look
for a file browser of your liking. Install it on your phone.
Connect your phone to your computer. Go to command line/terminal. Make sure you have adb installed, if not install it now. 
Use the adb command install &lt;path-to-apk&gt;.
