Earlier this year, Google said that it was making big changes to how backups work, specifically by automatically copying files from your Android devices to Google Drive after a quick setup and approval. The company began adding the feature to test versions of Android back in February 2026, according to a report from Android Authority. This update means your Android phone can finally take advantage of a proper backup solution for documents you create, download, and edit on your device. Once you've turned the feature on, 9to5Google says any .DOC, .PPT, .XLS, .PDF, and other document formats will be backed up from the device. This is great if you download a lot of files onto your device and never think about them again.
