File Library Pros
1. One-click alphabetize, or can manually sort via drag-and-drop.
2. Can deactivate a file with one click, and keep it for future use.
3. Can fit a lot of files in a compact space (compared to Doc Viewer).
4. Can add a description of each file, if desired.
5. Supports tagging & filtering.
6. Supports any file type.
File Library Cons
1. Must upload each file separately.
2. Content of files is not indexed by Google. (Titles and descriptions are indexed.)
3. Cannot nest files into categories (consider using Tabbed Widget app with multiple File Libraries to achieve this).
4. Can only have files in this app (no links).
5. Files are stored within the app itself, so if you delete the app, the files go with it (they are not stored in Files & Folders).
  - Note that removing the app from a page is not the same as deleting it from App Manager.
6. Cannot add files from the Shared folder.
7. Cannot control the style or look of how files are listed (template-dependent).

Content Accordion

Tabbed Content

Content App Pros
1. You can arrange your content however you wish (single-space, double-space, font size and weight, alignment, images, etc.).
2. You can have URLs and files mixed together (some links point to webpages, some links point to documents).
3. You can mass upload files under Tools > Files & Folders, then choose "Existing File" for each item--slightly faster to add files that way.
4. You can pull from Shared Files.
5. Conent of files is indexed by Google--helps visitors find what they are looking for when doing a search.
Content App Cons
1. Does not have one-click alphabetize.
2. Does not have one-click link/file removal.
3. Rearranging content can be risky--might accidentally delete content you wanted to keep.
4. With flexibility comes inconsistency (different look from page to page).

Content Accordion and Tabbed Content are variations on the Content app and have the same pros/cons, just with the added benefit of separating groups of files.
