Here’s how Googlebooks will stop random files from clogging your desktop

Device Intelligence is a new suite of features for Android-powered laptops that utilizes artificial intelligence to improve user experience. It includes an automatic file sorting capability that organizes documents into topic-based folders, which is initially off by default. Users can activate this feature, which comes with a pop-up description regarding its purpose and privacy. A desktop widget will also be available for easy access to organized collections. Additionally, Device Intelligence integrates with Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM), allowing users to add local files to their notebooks and share files directly from Google Photos. There is a file size limit of 200MB for shared documents. The insights are based on an APK teardown, and not all features may be included in the final release.

5 features the Windows File Explorer needs if it’s ever going to be good

Windows 11's File Explorer is functional but has room for improvement compared to third-party file managers. Suggested enhancements include: - Tagging files with labels and colors for easier organization, similar to macOS's Finder. - Quick file preview capability that allows users to view file contents without opening applications, akin to macOS's Spacebar feature. - A more intuitive bulk renaming process that provides clear options for sequentially renaming files. - Automatic file sorting based on custom rules to streamline organization. - Dual-pane navigation to simplify file management across multiple folders. These features could significantly enhance the user experience and elevate File Explorer's functionality.

Did you know that you can double-sort Windows File Explorer contents?

The Downloads folder can become cluttered over time, but users can utilize a secondary sorting feature in the Details view of their folders to organize files more efficiently. To use this feature, open the desired folder, click on a column heading for a primary sort (e.g., by file type), and then Shift-click on a second column (e.g., Date modified) to refine the search. This allows for dual sorting, organizing files by type and further arranging them based on the secondary criterion.
