  • Files by Google is a smart file management app for Android that automates several tasks and earlier showed signs of Smart Search coming to the app soon.
  • Smart Search scans your phone's storage to locate ID cards and health and travel documents, organizing them in a dedicated folder for easy access.
  • The feature is now gradually rolling out widely through a server-side switch. A lot of people have already received the feature, and it should reach more users gradually.
