Google Files Go App
The Google Files Go app helps Android users to free up space, find files quickly, and share files offline. While the new app is built for Go edition devices, it works with Android devices (running 5.0 Lollipop or higher). Google claims that the app will help you save 1GB of space.
The Files Go app lets you transfer files directly between devices at up to 125Mbps speed (now more than 500Mbps). It is similar to Apple’s AirDrop app. The new app allows you to save mobile data while sharing files. However, both devices should have the Files Go app installed. The app creates a local hotspot and uses it to send the file via Wi-Fi. You can get pretty fast transfer speeds (depending on your device) without using any data.
The app comes with categories like images, videos, audio, documents, apps, etc. You can also upload your files to your favorite cloud storage service. It uses the company’s mobile vision technology to suggest which files should be deleted. This includes unused apps, duplicate files, low-resolution videos, and memes.
