This is actually hilarious, in a very dark tragic comedy sort of way.

The feature scans and categorizes important documents e.g. passports, IDs, etc., and it's a feature of Google's official Files app.

Instead of dropping support and phasing it out, they're going to kill it and DELETE all of those critical documents for users.

JFC. Awesome.

Note that this is only about the copy made into the important tab. I do still agree it's a stupid way if doing it, but they're not deleting the original that was imported, just the import-copy.

Could it happen that you already deleted the original file because you thought, well I have it in the important tab, but now will lose that copy when Google removes that tab and be left empty handed? Not sure how this tab works
