Ratings and reviews

How am I supposed to print multiple files at one time? I select multiple files and no print option is available. This is obviously a necessary feature to include for something as important as "Files" and any one programmer on a team that works for GOOGLE who would neglect to include such an obvious and simple feature is easily worthy of removal from the team.

It's the only tool I know of for Android device file management, but it would be nice if it had better workflows / procedures for copying/moving files and photos to a PC or USB drive, and would nice if it gave you options for either "deleting from device only" or "deleting entirely from both device and Google photos cloud", especially since it does not make clear which of those is happening when you "trash" something.

I keep forgetting that this is a thing where I don't have to go scrolling myself it'll automatically subgroup certain types of files that I would be looking for to reorganize in my drives and cloud storage places. And then I can just check the box as I move down the list and delete everything as I've sorted it to its other drive home super easy to use
