Files by Google

I find the layout of Googles Files app easy to understand & mostly simple to work with. There have been a few instances when I was attempting to transfer/move files from the internal storage to the SD storage. Not sure what or where in the process I may have errored. so I closed the app for the time being & came back later & it worked fine.

The convenience of being able to view almost everything stored locally in one app is the best part of the app. It helps with organizing and keeping my storage well maintained. It also make finding things, like docs or recently used or updated files very quick. I feel it's the main hub of my Mobile. I haven't used any other file managers on my mobile, but that's because i haven't seen the need. If it's not broken don't fix it right? Until someone develops a stable Linux based mobile OS I'm good.

I've gotten rid of my other file managers as this one is near perfect. It's not 5 stars because I cannot search through the app to find Drive files. I mean why let us connect to drive if the search box cannot find files in drive. I also wish (in my pixel) I was able to use the app drawer search bar to find files that are managed with my files app? I think we were able too before but for some reason it was removed. Good app but needs better integration with Android and Google Drive.

I was needing to transfer a lot of slides in the fronts of .png. Google drive doesn't have the option to download full folders, so now I have to manually download all the slides png and re-organize them in Files app. That's already enough to make it a very lengthy and tedious process. BUT NOW, Files can't recognize SINGLE DIGITS FILE NAMES, you have to put zeros in front of them to be sorted! E.g. You get 1 10 11, 2, 21, 22 if you name files that way, work only with zeroes 01, 02, 10, 11, 21.

a terrible file manager, it's so bad!!!! ok... I don't want or need a a file manager that recommends, or guesses, or tries to figure out what I am using the app for! I want a simple list of folder's that I can pick and open to see what's inside. This app is so locked down, no useful permissions, that it is a huge waist of my time!!! And very irritating!! Lastly, and most important, I can't uninstall it completely!!!! This is my phone, I paid for it, THIS IS NOT GOOGLE'S PHONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
