File explorer ??

Hi, just started to use this phone

I can't seem to access sd card files, even using third party file managers. 

I have folders on sd card which I put related pictures and audio in. 

The phone or its software seems to be designed to eliminate the need for folders in sd card by automatically extracting its contents to the relevant app ie photos to gallery and audio to music.

I would still like to access the folders I already have on sd card, how can I do this? 

Is this a problem on android 7 or Sony xperia L1? 

Also I know for sure at least one photo is not appearing in gallery so how reliable are these new functions
