Update Highlights
Files by Google recently introduced deep integration with system tools like Circle to Search and Gemini for PDF analysis, significantly expanding its utility beyond basic file management. These updates, along with improved .zip handling and a streamlined Recents section, provide users with a more powerful and intuitive interface for organizing and interacting with their local data.
Circle to Search on Images
Users can now initiate 'Circle to Search' directly from images opened within the app by tapping the Lens icon to quickly identify objects or text.
Native Zip File Support
The app now allows users to create .zip files internally and seamlessly open compressed archives shared from other applications.
Improved Recents Section
The Recents view now displays up to 10 files and enables bulk actions like sharing, deleting, or starring directly from the list without opening each file.
Home Page Quick Share
Quick Share functionality is integrated directly onto the home screen, allowing for faster initiation of offline file transfers to nearby devices.
AI-Powered PDF Assistance
On supported devices, users can now ask Gemini questions about the content of their PDF files directly from the Files app for quick summaries or insights.
Advanced Search Filters
Enhanced search functionality now includes dropdown filters and quick results to help users locate specific documents and media more efficiently.
