Files by Google

File management for everyday Android use

Files by Google is a file manager and storage-cleanup tool for Android phones. It helps you browse downloads, images, videos, documents and other files, while making common storage tasks easier to handle. It suits anyone who wants a clearer view of what is saved on their device without working through a complex folder structure.

Clean up space with less manual sorting

The app reviews local storage and presents suggestions for removing items such as duplicate files, blurry photos, unused apps and other content that may no longer be needed. Files are grouped into practical categories, including downloads, images and large files, so you can inspect them before deciding what to keep or remove.

• Browse files by category or folder.
• Review storage suggestions and unwanted items.
• Preview common media and documents from within the app.
• Protect selected files in a PIN- or pattern-locked Safe Folder.

Share files and manage personal content

Files by Google also supports direct, offline sharing between nearby devices, which is useful when sending photos, videos or documents without relying on a cloud upload. Its Safe Folder adds a separate protected space for content you do not want displayed alongside ordinary files. The app can also help with moving or backing up content to supported storage destinations such as Google Drive or an SD card.
