Files by Google is testing a new UI for tablets and other large-screen devices. It splits the file explorer app into a two-column layout, giving you access to more files without switching pages.
Currently, Files by Google simply stretches the mobile home page UI to fit the larger screens on tablets and foldables. It gives you access to the search bar, Recents carousel, Categories, Collections, and All Storage options and switches to a different page when you select a file or folder.
