It will indicate what you can get rid of additional to what it already does above, such as apps and extra temp content that might be stored on the device.

Some background on Google Files Go might be in order to understand why this was even a thing. The app was developed for the Android Go platform, this is but one app out of nine that Google developed for the platform. Android Go was designed for the devices that typically have less than 8GB of storage, which means they need to be able to recover valuable storage pretty fast. Since this app also allows you to browse the files on the device and transfer files, this was a perfect utility combining 3 things into one.
Google Files Go to transfer files
Files Go has a built-in file transfer feature that works by turning itself into a hotspot allowing two devices to connect to transfer files in between the two. This eliminates the need to have a connection to a network or the internet.
If you’re looking to send a file, all you have to do is hit the Send button from the Files tab, and enter a name for it. Files Go will set up a hotspot, and the recipient will be able to see your selected name once they hit the Receive button on their device. It’s as easy as that, and Files Go lets you send audio and video files, as well as documents.
Google Files Go as a file manager
As the name implies, Google Files Go can also be used as your device primary file browser to see the content of what you have stored on your device. Just like you’d do on a desktop or laptop, you can browse for whatever you might be looking for. Although Files Go was designed for budget-entry-level devices, its usability extends to all. There’s a large number of smartphones with 16GB of internal storage or less, and Files Go is the ideal app to declutter your phone.
