How to save text files to a folder like on a PC?

On my Samsung S8 phone, I have the "Samsung Notes" and "Notepad Free" apps. Both allow saving notes within the app itself. So when I open either app , they just show a jumble of notes that I have to scroll through to hunt for the note that I want to read.

I want to write and read text notes just like I do using my PC. IOW, create a "Text Files" folder. Then use an app like the windows "Notepad" to save each note with a descriptive name in the "Text Files" folder. When I want to read a note, I want to open the "Text Files" folder and see a list of text files. Then tap on the name of the file that I want to read.

How can I do that on my phone?

skyglider,

You could take a look at an app called WPS Office. It's free.

It works like Microsoft Office. You can do word processing documents, spreadsheets, presentations, etc.

Word processing documents are saved as docx files, in a My Documents folder.

When you come back to it, open WPS Office and click on the word Open in the top right hand corner. You can then tap on your "My Documents" folder.

You can also search for these in your secondary home screen. Start from your home screen and swipe upwards. Go to the top of the page and tap on Search. Tap on Search, and choose My Files. You can then look for documents, images, etc.

You can save files on your device or Cloud Storage. I've never used the Cloud Storage, so I don't know how that works.

(Just as an aside, it will also read .odt files created by Libre Office.)
