[p]Managing storage on a phone is one of the more annoying tasks we have to commonly deal with. Users are faced with questions of deciding which apps to delete, how much room it will save, and hunting down files that just aren't needed.Now I’ll introduce to you Google's Files Go app which entire purpose is to help you manage storage.[br][p]
[br][div align="center"][/div][p][br][br][strong]Apps and files[/strong][div align="center"][/div][p][br]The home page of the Files Go app details storage amount of your device, and how much space is being used. Below that is a feed, similar to Google Now or the Assistant feed in Google Photos, that makes recommendations to help free up some space.[br]You will receive alerts for things like apps you haven't used in the past 30 days, or apps with a large cache of unnecessary files, audio files, or duplicate files stored on your device.Go through each alert, pick and choose what stays and what goes, then rejoice at your newly reclaimed space.[br]The Files Go app will now help you manage storage on a microSD card. At the top of the app, you'll now see a spot for microSD storage on a compatible device.[br][br][strong]File Viewer[/strong][br][div align="center"][/div][p][br]At the bottom of the app is a Files tab. The Files section offers a file manager view, with files broken down into types. The sections include downloads, received files, apps, images, videos, audio and documents.[br]The files that show up in each category don't necessarily come from the appropriate Android storage folders. Instead, the Files Go app scans your device and adds the files to the app.[br]Naturally, you can delete and manage any files in this section of the app. Furthermore, you can use the share button to back up the file to Google Drive or Dropbox before removing it from your phone.[br][br][strong]AirDrop, but for Android[/strong][br][div align="center"] [/div][p][br]It's a bit hidden, but Files Go includes the ability to share files with nearby friends. It works in a lot of ways like Apple's AirDrop feature, using a secure hotspot connection between two devices to transfer the file.[br]Instead of being able to send files to random strangers, the recipient will have to approve the connection between the devices before anything can be sent or received.[br]To use the file sharing feature, each person will need to visit the Files tab and select Send or Receive. After that, follow the prompts to complete the transfer.[br][br][br][strong]Settings[/strong][br][div align="center"][/div][p][br]In the Settings for Files Go, you can change the name that shows up for file sharing, and control alerts for various triggers (low storage or large media files, for example).[br][br][br][strong]File browser[/strong][br][div align="center"][/div][p][br]Files Go also has a file browser integrated into the service, and Google rolled out an update that introduced a search option. You'll be able to search through documents, images, videos, and audio files, and the feature works offline as well.[br]It's lightweight and doesn't drain your system resources; and it surfaces cards whenever it detects that your phone is running low on storage, offering recommendations on content that can be deleted.[br][br]File Go is already installed on[strong][font color="#ff0000"]Note 4[/strong]and[font color="#ff0000"][strong]Hot 6 Pro[/strong],and it is available to download for all Infinix devices on the Play Store. It comes in at just 4.4MB, and is a must-have if you're using a phone with limited storage.It is the ideal app to declutter your phone,Go experience it![br][p][br][p][font color="#282f35"][font face="Roboto-Regular"][font size="3"]The Future Is Now[p][font color="#282f35"][font face="Roboto-Regular"][font size="3"]Inifinix Official Team[p][br] |
