Google is renaming Files Go, its app for Android phones with limited storage. ... The primary focus of the application is to free up space on your phone - by intelligently recommending removing apps, spam, and duplicate files so that your phone stays tiptop sized.
Google's Files app, the company's first-party file management app for Android, is being updated with improved offline playback controls for music and video files. The new controls will allow you to skip, rewind, or fast-forward through your media. The company also said that the app will soon get support for a dark mode as well, which Google is adding to each of its apps before the launch of Android Q's system-wide dark mode option.
Advanced offline playback controls are a very minor feature in the grand scheme of things, and there is no shortage of applications available on the Play Store that have better control than what the files offer. However, I don't think I've played a local file on my phone in my years now that I can stream all my music and video content. This makes unnecessary local music or video playing app very unnecessary for someone like me, but it's nice that files are able to playback well on those odd occasions when I need it, especially when The company's existing Google Play music players fall short and a focus less. YouTube Music can now handle local playback, but at least you don't need to jump between apps with files.
Along with new feature announcements, Google also revealed some usage statistics for the files. According to the company, the app is now used by 100 million users worldwide, who use the app to free up the equivalent of 8GB of space every second using its built-in space-saving features.
The company says that in the next few days new features should appear in the file.
