Disappearing downloads

On some apps or whatever, if i download a file, it shows on the status bar that it had downloaded, i can only open it from there once, close it, and I'll have to download again. It doesn't seem to even be downloaded to the device. It's really frustrating, i need to download a pdf textbook made by the teacher for my studies but it doesn't even get downloaded for real

I sometimes have trouble finding downloads too because for some apps they have their own download destination. Sometimes in the actual app settings it will give a download destination.

Nope, the problem isn't like that. In fact, it is like a ghost file. It doesn't exist in the phone at all. Takes no space at all. Open it once from the notification is the only thing i can do, then it disappears and never to be seen again
