Trying to find Application Folder

I am trying to find my applications folder on my iPad Pro, to open something I have downloaded. I says to drag it to the app file, but I can’t find it. Help! I saved my downloaded file in Google Drive.

There is no Application folder in iOS and you cannot install apps that way from a web download. The only supported mechanism to install apps is through use of the Apple App Store.

There is no user access to the underlying iOS file system.

Apps live on the Home screen, unless you choose to create folders. So there is no Applications folder per se.

Disk image files (dmg) are MacOS installer bundels. Software compiled for MacOS cannot run on iOS. So you’d need to see if that developer has an equivalent app available for iOS in the App Store.

I am not familiar with the software, so not sure, but this may be what you’re looking for with iOS?

Sooo, I am trying to download GarageSale and it says to move it to my application folder. Is there an app that I can use from the App Store to open a dmg extension? Thanks a bunch!

GarageSale, if it's the app for eBay, seems to be Mac OS only. You can't use it on an iOS device.
