► In brief
- Google Drive gets a Gemini update
- Google AI can help you better understand your files
- The new product is currently being deployed
To begin with, Google Drive is a very good idea. But, as the days, weeks, months and years accumulate, your Cloud storage begins to lose its splendor: we stop sorting, we forget where certain files are stored, we no longer know what the storage is for. numerous files… So, we’re not going to lie to you, Gemini is not going to revolutionize everything within your Drive. But, with this update, Google’s AI will still make your life easier.
Gemini helps you sort your Drive
Thus, Google indicated that it had extended the possibility of Gemini to read documents; until now, AI could only do this for one file at a time. From now on, she will be able to consult several elements simultaneously. A new feature which will allow, for example, to summarize an entire file in a single pass, in order to identify where what is located within your storage. Be careful though, this will still only work for text documents, and therefore will not be able to support elements including media.
In broad terms therefore, the novelty will notably introduce the possibility:
- To ask Gemini to summarize a file
- To tell you what is in a file
An update coming soon
For now, if you are a Google Workspace user, you may not yet have access to the feature. No worries, it only began its deployment phase on December 11. In the update note, the Google teams indicate that it will be gradually made available by the end of December.
Finally, last detail, but not least, this new feature for Gemini will only be accessible to Google Workspace users subscribed to one of the following plans:
- Google One AI Premium
- Gemini Business

Good sorting!
