- Files by Google is starting to receive its Material 3 Expressive redesign.
- The new design brings bigger media thumbnails, flatter folder icons, and reorganized floating buttons.
- These changes are starting to roll out with the app’s stable version, suggesting a broader release in the coming weeks.
Google is starting to drape an array of apps with the new Material 3 Expressive theme. It has already rolled out splashes of the latest design philosophy to certain apps, such as Gmail and Google Keep, while some other third-party app developers are also dabbling with the implementation. Files by Google is the latest app to get the updated colors and design elements, which are starting to roll out to a select set of users.
Over the past few months, we have noticed Google testing Material 3 Expressive design in Files, the de facto file manager app on Android. But these changes are now available for a few users without any tinkering. Telegram users @minearchiver and @maveli_bro have shared visuals of the updated design language with us, and these appear in version 1.8436.793259964 of the Files by Google app on Android.
