I know this platform, and the fact that Google has reported to the police different cases, but I do no see the precise point where it's linked to this feature of Google Files app.

From what I know, Google scans its services (mail, drive, etc.) but I had no clue that it includes CSAM via this feature of the app.

@sebsauvage
Yep, it would seem a *big* reach if they'd start to employ client-side scanning (Apple considered it, and were promptly shot down by privacy organizations). If they did, why would they do it in an optional file manager app, instead of a system framework?

The other option would be that Files uploaded local documents to the cloud for indexing. That doesn't seem super likely, either.

I, too, would like to see some evidence.

@osma @sebsauvage Indeed, what you're inferring @protonmail seems quite an accusation.

1) The existence of that API does not mean that it has been integrated with this app. The feature *could* legitimately index file content so that users would be able to search on contents.
2) If client-side scanning were to be added based on legal requirements, this probably wouldn't be a toggle-able feature. It would probably also be baked into the OS.

FUD without evidence reflects poorly on your brand IMO.
