Google’s Files App May Soon Get a Favorites Folder
Aug. 13, 2020According to the report, you will be able to add files to the Favorites folder with the ‘Add to Favorites’ option in the overflow menu. Just likeSafe Folder, the upcomingFavorites folder will exist in the Collections section of the app. In case you’ve never used Google Files, the Collections section is present on the home page (Browse) of the app.Image: XDA-Developers
In fact, having a Favorites folder will come in handy for several users. You can seamlessly bookmark important files for faster access. For instance, if you’re a student, you could add your academic schedule time-table, important notes for quick revision, and much more to this folder. You could also use this folder for instantly accessing the local copy of your important documents, as these files usually get lost among other files unless you put in the efforts to categorize them in a separate folder.
With all that said, do keep in mind thatGoogle has not enabled the feature for everyone just yet. Since the feature seems almost ready, we could expect Google to add the feature in the next Google Files beta. If everything goes according to the plan, Favorites folder will make its way to the stable version in a future update.
