Files by Google

A practical file manager for Android

Files by Google helps you browse, sort and manage files on an Android phone. It suits anyone who wants a clearer view of downloads, images, videos, documents and other stored content without working through a complicated folder structure. The app is also useful when storage is running low or when you need to send files to a nearby device.

Storage cleanup without guesswork

The cleanup tools look for common sources of clutter, including duplicate items, blurry photos, unused apps and large files. Suggestions are presented for review, so you can decide what to remove rather than searching through storage one folder at a time. This makes it a good fit for phones that collect screenshots, downloads and media faster than their owners can organise them.

Browse, protect and share

Files groups content into practical categories and provides a straightforward way to open, move or delete items. A protected folder can keep selected files behind a PIN or pattern. For nearby transfers, the sharing feature sends files directly between compatible devices, which is useful when cloud storage or mobile data is not the right option.

Worth knowing

Files by Google is published by Google LLC in the Tools category. Its rating is 4.51 out of 5 from more than 8.7 million reviews, and it has passed 5 billion installs. That scale, together with its mix of file browsing, cleanup and sharing features, makes it a sensible general-purpose choice for Android users who want one familiar place to handle everyday storage tasks.
