Ratings and reviews

Great and all but when I listen to my media offline and my phone goes into rest mode it works but it does reset where I left off on the first song downloaded through mp3 when I go to use my phone. I made the app unoptimized for battery and it helped but it's still ding the same thing. Otherwise great app.

For Files by Google, I suggest enabling the Search option for each folder and subfolder to make it easier for the user to search for the desired file. Like the search option in the My Files app on Samsung Galaxy smartphones. Also, change the name of the app to Google Files, which is more understandable than Files by Google. Good luck.

Works edit: dropped another 2 stars because of the update. When i zoom in on a picture and click on it, it's because i want the menu to disappear, NOT to zoom out of the picture! edit:Dropped to 4 stars because it gets stuck on an animation when deleting 'trash'. (More space for videos) Then i have to close and restart
