Sounds like a convoluted system to me, but whatever works . . . .

Well, you can accomplish it directly on Android. It just seems to me you're having a hard time figuring out how. I've never had issues with file management on Android (I use ES File Explorer). I think it's probably because you need to get used to a new touch based interface without the benefit mouse and simple drag'n'drop. What we have on Android is actually far easier than on iOS. Of course, the Apple/iOS way to is throw money at a problem (e.g. $100-300 internal storage upgrades).
Note, long pressing on icons is usually equivalent to right clicking on Windows. That often gives you a bunch of useful menu items.
I don't have an Android device with me right at this moment but when I checked last night (Moto G4 Play, Android 7.1), it seemed like mine actually had a built-in file manager already (Settings - Storage - Explore, iirc).
Think of it this way, the internal memory on Android is your C: drive. You're running out of space on C: drive so you connected an external hard drive or flash drive (let's call it D: ) to your computer to get more space. Problem is you never told your apps to save files on D: instead of C: and that's kind of where you are right now.
