The popular one system Android's file manager, Files Go, has been upgraded and now offers faster file transfers, faster connections, and safer file sharing.
Google released an “important upgrade” of the app functions and especially for sharing files with people nearby.
Files Go was originally designed to help users in India to cope with limited storage space and network latency. Since then, however, it has been released in China and made available globally using about 10 million users.
Since then, Google has been constantly updating it by adding new features that try them through a beta channel.
What the upgraded application brings
The nearby file sharing function now has its own tab called “Share”, which comes to make it easier access.
Google also says that connecting to other nearby users will be much faster. The app will automatically use the fastest available channel for sending files, so if 5GHz Wi-Fi Direct is available, it will automatically use it.
According to Google, some users will be able to transfer files at speed 490Mbps or about four times faster than the previous 125Mbps limit. At this speed, Google estimates that users can send 100 "high quality photos" (original quality) in less than five seconds.
The application also uses encryption WPA2 to protect files moving over the network for sharing.
As for space saving, Google had already notified the app so users can delete photos from their Google Photos uploaded device.
