Google's Files Go App
Google has introduced a new app to manage the files on your devices named as Files Go. The app manage files on cell phones frees from the hassle of time-saving space on cell phones as well as from using any other space reducing apps.
The sole purpose of Files Go app is to help in reducing the space consumption on devices.
Apps and files
The home page of the Files Go app details storage amount of your device, and how much space is being used. It gives the recommendations and helps us to free up the space.
Also, it gives the alerts like the apps you haven't used in the past 30 days, or apps having the large cache of unnecessary files, duplicate files or audio files stored on your device.
You need to check each alert, pick and choose what stays and what goes, then rejoice at your newly reclaimed space.
File Viewer
The Files tab is located at the bottom of the app. It offers a file manager view, with files broken down into types and include downloads, received files, apps, images, videos, audio and documents.
It’s not necessary that the files it shows in each category come from the appropriate Android storage folders. Rather the Files Go app scans your device and adds the files to the app.
Now, you can delete and manage any files in this section of the app. Furthermore, you can use the share button to back up the file to Google Drive or Dropbox before removing it from your phone or tablet.
Settings
There in the Settings for Files Go, you can change the name that shows up for file sharing, and control alerts for various triggers.
After a few minutes of installing Files Go on my Pixel 2 XL, I recovered over 500MB of space without doing much of anything. It may not sound like a lot, but for those who are still using a 16GB or 32GB device, that 500MB can mean a lot.
