I recently got a nexus 5. I have transferred my pictures and videos to my nexus 5, but my videos don't show up anywhere. Does anyone know how to get this to work. I use android file transfer on my mac, and i can see the videos along with all the pictures under the pictures section, but i can't find the videos anywhere when using the phone

DOwnload a file manager if you haven't done so. FX File Manager is one of the best. Link to Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.fx

Download MX Video Player (there is a free version, you don't need the pro version). Link to Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad

Use the file manager to find the files you moved over, assuming they didn't have some sort of iTunes DMA which I believe prevents transferring to another device.
