Who uses the applications of Google on your smartphone knows well that the Mountain View company does not hesitate at all to make changes. This time it was again Files by Google: a file manager with smart functions, which has undergone an important change to interface design. Let’s see what the application looks like now, also remembering to take a look at our guide on how to transfer large files.
Google has decided to remove the navigation bar lower, which gave quick access to the cards ”Make order”, ”Browse” And ”Share”. This change makes for sure the simplest interfacebut it probably won’t be appreciated by those who preferred to have the three choices grouped in one place.
When opening the application, as highlighted in the image, we notice that the Browse tab became the home page itself. As for the card Get things in order (which allows you to analyze and delete unwanted files), is now accessible via the side navigation pane.
We will find it as the first item in the list (consistently next to the trash can) and with the name ”Clean up”.
Lastly, the card Share (Nearby sharing) has been removed completely from the application. As is also communicated when opening the app ”The functionality will soon become Quick Share” and consequently Google urges users to use the context menu to send and receive files.
Have you already tried the new interface? Let us know what you think with a comment.
