Hi Everyone,
I've seen an article that shows you how to access Oreo's hidden file manager but I can't seem to find it on my phone. Any advice? Thanks in advance.

Copied from a Google Search:
To access hidden file manager in Android Oreo, go to the Settings > Storage menu and then scroll down and tap on the 'Files' option
Works on Android Pie too

Thanks a lot for your answer. I read that the hidden file manager would only sort by grid or list but when I go into my phone's settings I get these options, is that the real hidden file manager?

On my phone, that only opens my stock File Manager; not any "hidden" file manager. I would agree, that this all depends on the phone brand and what it has pre-installed
