- Google has revamped certain aspects of its popular file management app.
- Users can now view their recent files in a carousel format, similar to the Memories feature on Google Photos.
- This new change is visible in the most recent beta and some official versions of the app.
The Files by Google app is undergoing a stylish new makeover with a carousel view for browsing recent files, reminiscent of the layout on Google Photos.
Previously, users would encounter “Recents” and “Categories” sections when launching the Files by Google app on their Android devices. The Recents tab typically displayed folders like Camera, Download, Screenshots, and Downloads (Documents) in a grid layout with a brief preview of their contents.
However, a recent update (via 9to5Google) has introduced a new look to the Recent section, adopting a carousel format similar to the “Memories” feature on Google Photos.
Users can now browse their recent files in a carousel, where rectangular cards serve as previews, and tapping on them opens the file or image in full-screen mode.
Each card also includes a three-dot menu for actions like sharing, moving to trash, or marking as “Starred.” The carousel displays up to ten cards, after which users can click the “see all” button on the top right to explore recent files categorized by folders.

According to 9to5Google, these new changes were initially spotted in the latest beta version of the Files by Google app. However, users can also experience the carousel feature in action with the app version 1.4237.652465286.1-release. Notably, Google Photos and the Play Store use similar card-based displays in features like “Memories” and “For You.”
It’s intriguing to witness Google implementing these enhancements to offer a consistent user experience across its various products, especially with the imminent release of Android 15.
