Summarize Google Drive Folders

Introducing Gemini’s Folder Summary Feature

What is Gemini’s Folder Summary Feature?

With the feature, you can open a folder and select the new “Summarize this folder” button at the top of the page. Gemini will then give you a breakdown of the folder’s contents.

How Does it Work?

You can use Gemini to find specific files inside a folder, or ask questions about it, like “What is the theme of this folder?” You can also drag and drop a folder into the Gemini sidebar, as well as right-click on a folder and choose “Ask Gemini.”

Supported File Types

For now, Google says Gemini can only provide information about text documents, PDFs, spreadsheets, and presentations. However, when 9to5Google tested the tool, it found that Gemini could identify images in a folder, too.

Availability

Gemini’s folder summary feature is rolling out now to Google One AI Premium subscribers, along with Gemini Business, Enterprise, Education, and Education Premium users.
