Files by Google is currently used by 100 million people every month

Files by Google app is getting two new features as the company revealed that 100 million people are using the app every month to manage files on their Android phone. Files by Google was originally launched in 2017 as Files Go to allow users to easily manage files on their phones.

The dark theme can be enabled by going to Settings in Files app. Additionally, the Files by Google app is getting improved media controls for offline playback. There are new controls for Skip, Rewind, and Fast-Forward.

Meanwhile, Google says that Files app help users free up 8GB of storage space every second.
