• The Files by Google app is getting the ability to create zip files directly within the app.
• A new pin to collection option will let users add folders to the Collection tab on the apps home page.
• These features were discovered in the beta version 1.4237.652465286.1-release.

The Files by Google app is set to introduce several new features, bringing its file management capabilities closer to the best file explorer apps. We could access these features through flags in the Files by Google app version 1.4237.652465286.1-release beta.

Probably the most notable addition is the “Compress” option, which would allow users to create zip files directly from within the app. While the current version already supports extracting files from zip archives, the ability to compress files or folders into zips would streamline tasks like sharing multiple files or archiving data on the go.
