For users of the Google Gemini app, the experience has just become even more versatile. While many are familiar with typing or speaking queries, or uploading images, the app now extends its capabilities to include file uploads directly from your device. This enhancement follows the recent introduction of file uploads on the web, marking a significant step in making Gemini more accessible and functional.
You Can Upload Files on the Gemini App
In today’s fast-paced business environment, having the ability to analyze documents on the go is invaluable. The latest version of the Gemini app allows users to upload a variety of text files, including:
- TXT
- DOC
- DOCX
- RTF
- DOT
- DOTX
- HWP
- HWPX
- Google Doc files
Additionally, users can upload tabular data files such as CSV and TSV, as well as spreadsheet files including Google Sheets, XLS, and XLSX. This broad range of supported document types enhances the app's utility, making it a powerful tool for professionals who need to work efficiently from their mobile devices.
However, this feature comes with a stipulation. To utilize the file upload functionality, users must subscribe to Gemini Advanced, which is available through the $9.99/month Google One AI Premium tier. This subscription unlocks access to the most advanced capabilities of the Gemini model, ensuring users can maximize their productivity.
For those considering an upgrade, there’s an enticing offer: purchasing a Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, or Pixel 9 Pro Fold before October 31st grants a complimentary year of Gemini Advanced. This promotion not only enhances the value of the device but also provides users with a taste of the app's full potential.
