Chrome OS’ Files App Redesigned to Support Viewing Android and Linux Files

Apparently, Google’s Chrome OS team is working on redesigning the Files app of the Linux-based Chrome OS operating system for Chromebooks with a new “My Files” section that promises to help you better organize your local files, including those from any Android and Linux apps you might have installed. As you can see in the attached screenshot, the new “My Files” section will include the Recent, Takeout, Shortcuts, My Files (Downloads, Google Play/Android Files, and Linux Files), External or Mounted Volumes, Images, Videos, Audio, Google Drive (My Drive, Shared with me, and Offline), as well as Add new services entries.
