Categories and storage browsing
Files by Google opens with category tiles for downloads, images, videos, audio, documents, apps, starred items, safe folder, and all storage. It also shows internal storage folders such as alarms, Android, audiobooks, DCIM, documents, download, movies, and music.
This layout is useful for users who want a friendly file manager rather than a technical directory browser. Category tiles make common file types easy to find quickly.

Clean, settings, and search controls
The clean page shows storage used, junk files, and a search-for-apps area. Settings include language, clear search history, pause search history, Smart Search, hidden suggestions, and show hidden files controls.
Cleanup suggestions can help free space, but users should still review files before deleting anything. Search history and hidden file controls also matter on shared phones.

Permissions and file privacy
Android settings list notifications, photos and videos, language, storage, change-system-settings, install-unknown-apps, supported links, mobile data, and battery behavior. These controls affect file browsing, media access, app installs, and cleanup behavior.
File managers can expose private downloads, documents, and media. Users should keep safe folder and install-unknown-apps settings under control, especially when lending a device.
