Update 1: Please see the snapshot here. Please advise on how I can save a file in the one circled red i. Now from your question edit I think understand better what you want. Files shown on the Downloads menu from the one circled in red are ones that are actually downloaded via the DownloadManager , though the previos steps I gave you will save files in your downloads folder but they will not show in this menu because they weren't downloaded.
However to make this work, you have to initiate a download of your file so it can show here.

Sounds perfect! I was following the basic directions there, however, I can't hardly get started because I can't seem to find the path to the "Downloads" directory?! In doing my research, I found this interesting and thoughtful writeup, but didn't get to a successful answer. The location does not have to be "Download", but that directory was easily enough mapped by my desktop computer's file system browser upon plugging in the USB connector In fact, that's how I installed the Terminal Emulator - by putting the apk file and for several other "side load" apps into Download and then telling Android to install them.
So the real trouble is, I can't seem to find that location from within the Terminal Emulator! For me on Pixel 3 XL using Termux , the absolute filepath was. Sign up to join this community.
