Google Workspace expands Gemini’s capabilities with more file types and straight from Drive uploads

Currently, this feature doesn’t support Context-Aware Access (CAA) for files uploaded from Google Drive. However, it does honor access control settings for files within Drive, ensuring users can only upload files they own or have been shared with them.It’s important to note that file upload is not available to Google Workspace users accessing Gemini as an additional Google service. Additionally, users with a Gemini for Google Workspace license who access Gemini as a core service are subject to the Google Workspace Terms of Service or Google Workspace for Education Terms of Service. When using Gemini as a core service, chats and uploaded files won’t be reviewed by humans or used to improve generative AI models.

For admins, local file upload will be available in Gemini by default for all eligible users. However, file upload from Google Drive requires turning on Workspace extensions in Gemini. Detailed instructions can be found in the Help Center.

End users can upload up to 10 files at a time, with each file having a maximum size of 100 MB. To upload files from Google Drive, users need to connect Google Workspace apps & services in the Extensions setting.
