When you pin a file to the home screen, you actually add a shortcut of the file to the home screen. The file is still in the original folder and is NOT moved. If you delete the icon in the home screen, the corresponding file will NOT be removed. But if you update the file, the file in the original folder will be updated.
Technically, the shortcut the pinned file in Galaxy S9 home screen is a symbolic soft link to the original file, not a copy of the file. There are many third-party apps that allow you to add file shortcuts to Galaxy S9 Home screen. But you do not install any of them. The pre-installed My Files from Samsung is a decent file manager and lets you pin files to the home screen. By default, you can find My Files in Galaxy S9 apps screen.
Of course, you can and should add it to the home screen. As shown in the screenshot below, My Files organize your files in various ways. On the top, recently accessed files are listed under Recents card , which can be turned off in the settings. Your files on the phone are also categorized as image, audio, video, documents, downloads and installation files in the categories card. Of course, a file can belong to up to two categories. And a file may be not in any of these categories depending on individual files.
If you need to navigate through the storage manually, you can find two entries for the internal storage and SD card storage if you added one in the Phone catrgory. But it is not recommended to pin files saved in the USB flash drive. After you remove or unmount the USB flash drive from the phone , the pinned file will disappear.
So, you should copy the file to the SD card or phone storage if you want to pin it on Galaxy S9 home screen. My Files can also access and manage cloud storage if you enable it, in the cloud card. For example, you may access your Samsung or Google cloud from My Files.
But you can only access norma files uploaded to Samsung cloud, and will not be able to access your backup files in the Samsung cloud.
There is a link to Samsung cloud for you to access all files as explained in this page. In the Downloads folder, tap and hold long tap the PDF file as shown above. If you only tap the file, Galaxy S9 will try to open it. Once the file is selected, you can see the check mark on the top left of the thumbnail as shown below.

However--crazy as it sounds--if you post the file online, then you CAN add it to your home screen. Upload the file, then browse to the file with Safari, then click the "right arrow in a box" icon at the bottom of the screen.
From there, you have nine options for the file, one of which is "add to Home Screen". This functionality was enhanced in iOS 6, but I'm almost certain the ability to "add a webpage to the homescreen" existed in iOS 5. Of course the caveat is the file is not stored on your device: you have to load it as a webpage everytime you access it. Oct 22, PM.
