Google Drive's Gemini AI Integration Expands to Mobile Apps

Google Drive's Gemini collaboration finally comes to Android and iOS apps

Rollout began on September 22, but it may not have reached all users yet. Google has been rolling Gemini features into Drive for a while now, from catching you up on file changes to summarizing meeting recordings. Until now, though, the "collaborate with Gemini" experience was limited to the web. That's changing, with Google announcing the feature is now available in the Drive apps for Android and iOS. As detailed on the Workspace Updates blog, this integration brings the web experience to your phone. You'll be able to ask Gemini to summarize long documents or even entire folders, pull out quick facts from across multiple files, or discuss a topic without manually digging through everything yourself. The rollout began on September 22 and could take more than 15 days to reach everyone. It's going live on both Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains. As usual with Google Workspace features, availability depends on your plan: Business Standard, Business Plus, Enterprise Standard, Enterprise Plus, Google AI Pro for Education, and Google One AI Premium subscribers are all covered. This is the latest in a string of Gemini upgrades for Drive. Earlier this year, Google added support for video summarization and a "Catch me up" feature that highlights edits and comments since you last opened a file. Now, those AI-powered tools are joined by full Gemini collaboration on mobile.

Gemini lands in Google Drive mobile apps to help you cut through the clutter

It used to be difficult to find what you needed in Google Drive. Summarizing reports or collecting insights from different files often meant scrolling through long documents, switching between files, and doing a lot of manual work. Google is now addressing this issue by adding Gemini directly to the Drive apps for Android and iOS. Until now, Gemini's collaboration tools were only available on the web, but they are now coming to mobile. The update began rolling out on September 22 and, like most Workspace updates, may take up to two weeks to reach everyone. However, free personal accounts are not included; only paid plans like Business Standard, Business Plus, Enterprise Standard, Enterprise Plus, Google AI Pro for Education, and Google One AI Premium will have access. On mobile, Gemini can summarize individual files, give overviews of whole folders, and highlight key points from several documents at once. If you are following a project, you can ask about its progress or details without checking each file yourself. Gemini also works with images in Drive, creating summaries or answering questions about them. It acts as a search assistant too, helping you find files or details much faster than browsing the old way. Easy access to Gemini inside the app Close Google has made Gemini easy to find in the app. There is a new 'Ask Gemini' button at the top right, options like 'Summarize this file' at the bottom of document viewers, and entries in the overflow menus. When you tap one, Gemini opens at the bottom of the screen, where you can type questions or pick from suggested prompts. Gemini can give overviews of whole projects or folders, helping you keep track of your work without switching between files. This move is part of Google's bigger plan to add Gemini across all of Workspace. Drive now joins Gmail, Docs, and Slides, where AI already helps with writing, editing, and organizing. Gemini's integration with Drive highlights how important the service is for both personal and work life, storing everything from project files to receipts. Making this information easy to access adds a lot of value.
