Now Google is bringing a similar feature to Android with a new app called Files Go.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt\">The app, which launched in beta on Thursday, can also help clear up space on your smartphone. Here\u2019s what you need to know about Files Go before you get started.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">How to Download Files Go<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt\">You can grab Google\u2019s new app from the Play Store right now, as long as you have a device running Android 5.0 or up. The app is free to use, with no ads or in-app purchases, though Google is probably scanning all the data you share to serve better ads elsewhere online.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt\">PhoneArena notes that the beta isn\u2019t super stable, but the design is slick and it seems to work pretty well despite a few bugs. The only other drawback is that Google limits the storage space inside Files Go to just 6MB, at least for now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">How to Use Files Go<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt\">If you decide to download Files Go you\u2019ll find that most of its features are actually focused on saving space on your smartphone. It\u2019s built to seek out files you don\u2019t need\u2014rarely used apps, duplicate images and spam\u2014so you can easily delete them. It also offers built-in search for quickly finding the photos, videos and documents you actually care about.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt\">If you want to use Files Go to share a picture or document with someone else, just go to the Files tab and tap the Send button. You\u2019ll see a list of people nearby, but for the app to work, they\u2019ll need to have Files Go installed themselves, then open the app and hit Receive. That creates a Bluetooth connection (which Google claims is secure) for you to quickly share files.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt\">Using Files Go is a bit more complicated than Apple\u2019s AirDrop, which doesn\u2019t require you to download any extra apps or open anything on your phone to receive a file\u2014but that\u2019s not necessarily a negative. AirDrop\u2019s open system has been used for harassment in the past, so plenty of users will likely have no problem with the fact that Google\u2019s version has a few extra barriers in place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 8pt\">Source:-\u00a0https:\/\/lifehacker.com\/how-to-use-files-go-googles-new-airdrop-style-file-sha-1820297858<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/technology\/innovation\/how-to-use-files-go-googles-new-airdrop-style-file-sharing-app.html\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 630px !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Use Files Go, Google&#8217;s New AirDrop-Style File Sharing App How to Use Files Go, Google&#8217;s New AirDrop-Style File Sharing App:- Apple has AirDrop for quick and easy file sharing between iPhones and other Apple devices.
