Google is finally rolling out the much-needed update to its File Go app. The update brings the ability to search for files on your phone just like you search the internet.

Once your photos and videos are safely backed up in Google Photos, Files Go app can detect that and prompt you to delete those files so you free up more space. The update is already rolling out and you can download the app directly from the Play Store. Source
