Google Files app streamlines PDF management with new built-in viewer and enhanced features

Google has been quietly improving its Files app, and the latest update brings a welcome change for anyone who works with PDFs. Instead of relying on Google Drive to view PDFs, Files now has its own built-in PDF viewer. This might seem like a small tweak, but it actually makes a big difference in how you can manage your documents.Before, if you wanted to do anything with a PDF in the Files app, you had to open it in Google Drive first. Now, you can do it all within the Files app. You can view, star, share, and even move the PDF to a different folder without ever leaving the app. It’s all about making things more streamlined and efficient.

This update also brings some handy new features to the table. You can now ‘star’ important PDFs, making them easier to find later. The menu has been reorganized and now includes options like ‘Move to’ and ‘Copy to’, which were previously tucked away in a separate menu. Accessing the ‘Safe folder’ and ‘File info’ has also become more straightforward. While the editing features haven’t changed, the editing button has a fresh new icon.
