Google has recently enhanced its Files by Google app with significant upgrades, giving a much-needed boost to the company’s flagship document platform. This suite of features represents a significant advancement in Google’s continuous efforts to enhance digital organization and accessibility.
Enhanced Document Scanning
The latest update to the Google Files app includes a new feature that allows users to scan documents directly using their smartphone camera. Users can choose between Manual mode, where they press the shutter button themselves, and Auto mode, which automatically scans and recognizes documents. These scanned files can be found in the /Files by Google/Scanned directory on the phone.
Editing Tools and Filters
After scanning a document with the Google Files app, users are presented with a variety of editing options. These tools enable users to adjust and enhance the scanned document, including applying filters to improve readability and aesthetics.
Integration with Google Drive
A new feature added to the Google Files app is a shortcut to Google Drive. This convenient shortcut within the app’s interface allows users to quickly access their Google Drive cloud storage, creating a more seamless experience between local file management and cloud storage services.
