The smart storage manager app could be used to share, delete or manage all kinds of files. It will diminish the need for WIFI or mobile data to transfer files amongst friends and family. The app will not only help users with limited networking options but also facilitate them to free up space when their smartphone storage getting is low. It will have an “clean cache” option too.
The in-app features include filters to select and view files, send-receive options and freeing up space on phone with smart cards. However, the audio, video and image files can only be shared within Bluetooth range. Both smartphones require connecting to each other through send or receive buttons.
Android 5.0 users would be able to download and install the app in near future. Importantly, Files Go would spot and remove spam as well as duplicate images to free up storage. It may be around 10MB in size to save up space.
