According to the latest report, Google made new changes in its Files. Google Files prepares a new “Important” tab and a slightly updated “Nearby Share” tab. You can check the complete details which are mentioned below.
The ‘Important’ tab:
- Apparently, it is a reimagining of the “Safe folder.” Opening it brings a system biometric login prompt (Safe folder used a PIN or pattern built into the app).
- Here, however, it looks like there will be sorting by file type or folders. It is hard to say, because I haven’t been able to add anything here yet.
- Floating action button will give the ability to directly add files or photos, and scan them using the camera (at the moment opens Google Camera with a notification that there is not enough permissions to save in this folder)
Updated Sharing page:
- Removed the “Nearby Share” captions, added a detailed page description, and unified button size.
These changes are not yet available to end users, and were discovered in v.1.70.514605175.
