Google has rebranded and redesigned its memory-decluttering app for smartphones "Files Go" that also assists users to find files faster and share them with others even without an Internet connection.

"We're rebranding the app to 'Files by Google' and redesigned the user experience to make sure that the content of your mobile phone is the focus when you use the app," Koji Pereira, UX Lead, Next Billion Users, Google wrote in a blog-post on Thursday.
