Files by Google is Google’s official file management app for Android phones and tablets. It helps you find and organize files, free up storage, protect private content, and transfer data to other devices.

Photos, videos, documents, audio, downloads, and other items are arranged into convenient categories. You can also browse folders stored in internal memory, on an SD card, or on a connected USB drive.

Free Up Device Storage

The app provides recommendations for removing temporary data, duplicate files, old screenshots, content from chat apps, and applications you no longer use. You remain in control and can review the suggested items before deleting them.

Files can also be moved to an SD card or backed up to Google Drive to create more room in your device’s internal storage.

Offline Sharing with Quick Share

Files by Google uses Quick Share to transfer photos, videos, documents, apps, and other content to nearby Android and Chromebook devices. An internet connection is not required for supported transfers, and the data is protected with end-to-end encryption.

Protect Files with Safe Folder

Private photos, documents, and other sensitive files can be placed in Safe Folder. Access is protected with a separate PIN or pattern that can be different from the lock used for the device itself.

Lightweight and Ad-Free

Files by Google takes up less than 20 MB of storage and does not contain advertising. It combines a file manager, storage cleaner, offline media player, and file-sharing tool in one straightforward app.
