From what was said at the Keynote, I cannot decide whether this is half useful or totally useless.
I guess we will have to wait for more reports to emerge...

Good to hear this is coming! In the past, I've resorted to using apps like Documents To Go just so I could use a file browser within that app!

I wonder if folks are more excited over this, or when the ability to copy and paste text came out?

So if I have a video in my google drive, can I access that video using this files app?

To add to the Joy, reading the developer docs on Document Based App clarifies a lot on how Files will work in practice:

I'm seeing my wish for a Coda iOS <-> Github workflow
