Till Android Lollypop emulators, we can access the file explorer folders. If the emulator is created with marshmallow or higher, we cant access the file explorer. May be this is bug from API level 24+.

A temporary solution, which worked at least for my needs, was to install file manager .apk (I used Astro file manager .apk) - just drag/drop .apk to emulator window. Another very useful utility - ImDisk - which let's mount sdcard .img of virtual device. If you mount it as readonly ejectable device, you can have realtime access to virtual device file system
