*Note: The feature is being released gradually to Google One AI Premium subscribers, as well as Gemini Business, Enterprise, Education, and Education Premium users.
There are three ways to request a summary of an entire Google Drive folder.
- Navigate to a Google Drive folder and click the new “Summarize this folder” button.
- You can also do this from the document list outside the folder. Right-click a folder to see the “Summarize this folder” option in the context menu.
- Alternatively, open the Ask Gemini panel and drag a folder into it.
The folder summary will appear in a sidebar. You can then enter additional queries, such as “Summarize files in @-folder” or “What is the theme of the content in @-folder?”
For now, Gemini can only provide information about text documents, PDFs, spreadsheets, and presentations. It can also answer questions about photos.
