I've got the files vs I got the files

Both these phrases are correct, but they're used in slightly different contexts. 'I've got the files' is more commonly used in British English and implies that the action of getting the files has been completed recently. On the other hand, 'I got the files' is more often used in American English and simply states the fact that the files were obtained at some point in the past.
