Google Files Go app updated with new "Share" tab, can transfer files at speeds of up to 490 Mbps

The Files Go app users will now see a 'Share' tab for easier offline sharing. Google says that the offline data transfer speeds have also increased, up to 490Mbps.

Launched in December in 2017, the app works on all phones running Android 5.0 (Lollipop) and higher. The lightweight data sharing app is aimed at helping users free up space in Android devices, and also allows for offline file sharing. Further, it makes searching for files easier, and backs up files to the cloud to save space on the device.
