For Files by Google, I suggest enabling the Search option for each folder and subfolder to make it easier for the user to search for the desired file. Like the search option in the My Files app on Samsung Galaxy smartphones. Also, change the name of the app to Google Files, which is more understandable than Files by Google. Good luck.

I initially loved using files for downloaded music, but the sorting action is annoying ever since the change. When I go to search for recent files (photos or audios) I downloaded, it would say "no recent files", and I have to go to my download folder and such just to find what I'm looking for. I don't understand what else I could do. Some help would be greatly appreciated.

The files app offers an easy, accessible way to browse through the files on your phone. However if you need to deal with videos, large compressed files in formats like .rar or .7z, or generally fly though folder after folder copying and moving many files, there are better alternatives. Admittedly Files is widely supported and has tools to help you manage your storage and much easier integration with Google Drive. I'll stick with Samsung Files, which works much better for my purposes.
