First of all, I hate Google. That being said, I'll be objective. This app is okay I guess. I does find most of everything and categorize it. That's where it ends. I'm a musician and have tons of samples and it mixes those in with my regular audio and it's just a mess to find anything. Also, the "sort" function does not offer "type" nor "size" in the search option. I couldn't find anything with this thing if I tried. No thanks.

I like this more than another, the main complaints: no restore option for Large Files, Blurry Photos & Downloaded Files.. disappointment, especially when you pay for it. So many photos that I've looking for are unfortunately stuck in "Blurry".. well, Google has a neat little editing feature to "Blur The Background". They aren't in any convenient order. 1 addt'l category that I was hoping would not suck: "Move to SD Card" gets to the end & on the screen "unable to move files" Rise Up Google,plz.
