To manage files on your iPhone and Android device, start by opening the Files app. On iOS, you can find it in the bottom right corner of the home screen or search for it in the app library.
The Files app is divided into three main tabs: Recents, Shared, and Browse. The Browse tab is where you'll spend most of your time. Here, you'll find all your local and cloud storage locations, including iCloud Drive, On My iPhone, and any third-party cloud storage accounts connected to iOS.
To access file operations on either platform, press and hold on a file. This will bring up options like rename, copy, move, share, and delete. If you've selected multiple files, use the icons at the bottom of the screen to manage them.
One useful feature in both apps is the ability to clean up unnecessary files. On Android, tap the menu button (three horizontal lines), choose Clean, and select files you can safely delete. On iOS, press and hold on a file until options appear; from here, you can delete or move the file to the Trash folder.
The Files app also allows you to search for specific files using the top search box. For file types like PDFs and images, tapping a file will open it directly. Other formats may launch a separate app on your device.
To free up storage space, you'll want to tap the three dots (top right) next to any file and select Clean tool or Trash from the menu. Android's Files app also lets you select multiple files at once by holding down on one file until checkboxes appear.

! Like, how hard is it to organize ur files?! You gotta open the app, find the tab, and then just kinda... browse thru all ur stuff 
. And don't even get me started on the cloud storage - if u ain't cleaned out ur iCloud/On My iPhone already, what r u even doin' with ur life? 
! And another thing, why can't they make it easier to find specific files?! I mean, come on! It's not that hard to use a search bar 
.
. I mean, it's cool that they've added a clean-up tool to help us get rid of unnecessary files, but let's be real... how many of us are actually going to do that? 
I know some people might appreciate the extra storage space, but others will just stick with old files because it's too much work to sort through them all. On Android, it's a bit more convenient since you can select multiple files at once, but on iOS... good luck with that 
. I guess it's a step in the right direction, though - we need more tools like this to help us manage our digital clutter 
.
its like, so easy to use the clean tool on all ur unnecessary files... and for android folks, u can even select multiple files at once by holding down 
now my storage is free and i can finally organize all my pics & vids without worrying about running out of space 
. I mean, have you ever tried to find that one specific document or photo on your phone? It's like searching for a needle in a haystack 
. But with the Files app, navigating through Recents, Shared, and Browse is pretty straightforward. I love how we can just press and hold on a file to access all these options 
! It makes sense that they'd put the cleaning feature front and center - who doesn't need to declutter their device every now and then? 
!
and I'm loving how easy it is to manage my files now! 
. And, nice tip on cleaning up unnecessary files - I've got some dead space taking up storage space, gotta sort through those 
. And honestly, have you ever noticed how much less stressed you are when your phone is running smoothly? 
It's like our devices are mirrors of our minds - clean out the clutter, and we'll feel more at peace.
... anyway, the whole Files app thing is like, totally making my life easier now 
Not me, that's for sure!
I mean, who thought it was a good idea to make me have to tap three dots just to get rid of a file? 
Can't they just make it as easy as using the trash can on my Windows laptop? 
But hey, maybe I'm just being paranoid 
. The real question is, who's behind this whole Files app thing? 
! I mean, have you guys noticed how easy it is to manage your files now? Like, seriously, it's a game-changer! The Browse tab is literally the best - I can see all my iCloud Drive and On My iPhone storage in one place
