Google today said it is rebranding its mobile app for managing on-device storage and sharing files with others. When Files Go first launched in December 2017, its goal was to help people whose devices had limited storage. It was also meant to let people share music, videos, and apps with others even when an internet connection wasn't available. Google says the app has grown to 30 million monthly users. The company is rebranding Files Go to Files by Android and redesigned the user interface at the same time. The app now focuses more on content stored on the mobile phone, yet it still includes lighthearted experiences such as celebratory notifications explaining how much storage people have recovered when they delete files from their device. Files by Android is free to download from the Google Play Store.
