- The main Gemini app experience lets you attach wider file formats from local and online storage, but these options are missing from the overlay experience.
- Google could soon fix this file attachment inconsistency by adding the missing options to the Gemini overlay.
Google has made good progress in building up Gemini with good, useful features. One of my favorite use cases is using Gemini to crunch and summarize long documents or find answers to specific questions from within the file. To do this, I have to upload the file in Gemini. However, Google doesn’t allow for wider file uploads in the Gemini overlay yet, so you have to necessarily launch the Gemini app from its launcher icon for this rather useful functionality. Thankfully, it seems Google could fix this oversight soon by letting you attach more files from local and online storage, even from the Gemini overlay experience.
