Google Files: A Powerful File Explorer with Smart Search Feature
In recent years, Android users have often found the native file explorer to be too basic. All that changed when Google introduced Google Files, an app that has evolved tremendously and become one of the best on Google Play store. With its wide range of functions, Google Files keeps improving, and it now offers a new feature that allows users to search for their most important documents.
Sometimes, files can get lost in the internal memory of a device, especially if you’ve been using your smartphone or tablet for a long time. This is where Google Files’ new smart search feature comes in handy. This feature aims to help users quickly locate their files without the need to navigate through various filters.
Smart search, which complements the app’s advanced search, eliminates the need for users to manually search for files. Although the stable version release date is still unknown, a user known as AssembleDebug discovered this feature in the application code. As per the code, Google Files will add the path of certain files to its index after analyzing them and determining their importance. These could be documents such as invoices, passports, or identification cards.
Notably, this feature works entirely on the user’s device, ensuring privacy and security. Google assures users that it strictly adheres to all privacy and security measures and never accesses any of their personal information.
To make it even more convenient, Google Files allows users to disable the smart search feature. If disabled, files will not be included in the smart search index. Instead, such files will be placed in an external section called “important files,” ensuring easy access and organization. The search process is automatic, as is the file organization.
Furthermore, Google Files will introduce new options to the file explorer. These include the ability to delete search history and deactivate the feature’s memory of recent searches. Although the availability of these options is still uncertain, they will undoubtedly enhance the overall user experience.
In conclusion, Google Files continues to impress with its continuous improvements. The addition of the smart search feature will undoubtedly make it easier for users to find their most important documents. With its commitment to privacy and security, Google ensures that users can trust this app with their personal files. And with the promise of more options on the horizon, Google Files is set to become an indispensable tool for Android users.
