Google Drive welcomes new advanced documents of the documents thanks to Gemini
According to an in -depth analysis of the code (the usual Apk teardown by the colleagues of Androidauthority) from the version 2.25.250 Of Google Drive For Androidinteresting details emerge on the future features that Google has in the pipeline.
So far, many of the innovations related to Gemini had been implemented first in the web version of Drive, and then landed on the mobile app later. But this time, Android users may not have to wait too long to get their hands on these new synthetic skills.
One of the most interesting news is the possibility of automatically generate a synthesis of PDF documents Directly within the Google Drive PDF viewer. Until now, to obtain a summary, it was necessary to exit the document, start Gemini separately and glue or upload the file.
With the new function, however, just click on the three dots icon at the top right and select the option “Summarizes this file“.
Alternatively, it will be possible to touch the Gemini icon in the upper bar and type a specific request as “summarize in five main points” and the like.
However, it should be noted that this possibility will be accessible only on the PDFs stored on Google Drive and open online. PDF files saved locally and viewed offline, for now, will not be supported. A choice probably linked to the need to access the models of Gemini in Cloud to process the documents.
The news does not end there: Google Drive also prepares to introduce the possibility of selecting e summarize multiple files at the same time. This function will not be limited to PDFs but it will also be possible to select Google Docs documents and, potentially, other supported formats.
The mechanism will be intuitive: by holding down a file, the multi-selection mode will be activated, allowing to add other documents or even a whole folder (although, at the moment, it seems that one can select only one folder at a time).
After that, just press the Gemini icon to receive a Integrated summary of all the selected material.
The ability to summarize more files together could turn into a real Killer feature of the Big G service, for example when it comes to consulting multiple documents regarding a work project or university exam is an option that can save time and make reading faster.
Just at the beginning of the month we had told you about the introduction of an option for summarize the changes to the documents While now the advanced synthesis of these are added by completing the picture a little.
Currently, one of the main limitations is that the synthesis function is not yet automatically shown on the PDFs (as happens on the web), but must be activated manually by the user.
A sore button, which will probably be corrected in the coming months, is that in the preliminary tests carried out by activating the function in advance, the colleagues have noticed that selecting more than one folder the Gemini button is deactivated. However, there are no limits to the number of PDF documents or DOCS selectable within a single folder.
In general, these innovations are inserted in the large plan of the Google Drive strengthening company, enriched by Gemini, by a simple digital space where to keep files ad smart assistant in the round capable of helping the user to navigate between avalanches of documents, categorize them, extract the flab And save precious time in any context, both working and in free time.
