FREE UP MORE SPACE
In just a few taps, you can free up space more quickly and easily than ever: delete old photos and memes from chat apps, remove duplicate files, delete unused apps, clear your cache and more.

CHECK YOUR STORAGE
Use Files to see how much free space is left on your phone and SD card. Easily transfer files to an SD card to free up your phone’s storage, straight from the app. Or use the integrated file cleaner to get more space on the phone.

BE IN CONTROL
You will always know what you’re deleting; we don’t hide behind complicated terms and phrases. Select only what you want to remove and keep the rest. It’s your photos, your videos and your files, so you are in charge.

BOOST PHONE PERFORMANCE
Use Files to keep enough memory, so that your phone keeps running smoothly. You get regular prompts to remove junk or temporary files, which helps you get more storage immediately.

SMART RECOMMENDATIONS
Get helpful suggestions of files to delete before you run out of space. The recommendation from the Files app gets smarter the more that you use it.

FIND FILES FASTER
Save time looking for photos, videos and documents on your phone. Files uses filters rather than folders so your stuff is organised more intuitively. Files by Google is the file manager and storage browser that helps you find what you’re looking for fast.

EASILY MANAGE FILES
Search for your files or simply navigate to them through categories and filters. View, delete, move, rename or share any files. Sort them by file size to understand what’s taking up space. Browse all the GIFs that you have. Find and share that video that you downloaded last week. All of this with a few taps.

SHARE FILES OFFLINE
Share your pictures, videos, documents or apps with others nearby who also have the app. With fast speed up to 480 Mbps, it’s fast, free and it works without the Internet, so it doesn’t cost mobile data. Just pair up your phone with anyone nearby who has the Files app.

ENCRYPTED FILE SHARING
Files’ offline file sharing is secured with WPA2 encryption, providing a more secure file transfer. Files app uses Bluetooth to set up encrypted and direct, fast Wi-Fi connection, so that you can transfer app APK or large files in seconds, and send videos or pictures to your friends. Safe and secure.

BACK UP FILES TO THE CLOUD
If you want to keep a file forever, select it from the Files menu and back it up to Google Drive or any other cloud storage app. Save them forever without using space in your phone.

BACK UP FILES TO THE SD CARD
If you run out of storage on your phone, simply transfer large files or videos to your SD card if you have one. With a few clicks, you can clean up your phone and fully use the SD card. That leaves your internal storage free and your phone faster.

EFFICIENT, EFFECTIVE STORAGE MANAGEMENT
Files app uses less than 10 MB of storage on your phone. And there’s no malware or bloatware to affect your phone’s performance.
