This is already a 3rd instance (gChat, Hangouts, Chat) and it already looks like Google doesn't care for feedback and real-sector needs. To be clear, my team want this feature and we love Google Workspace, it's just that Google Chat as a product has a really slow release flow and we can see it's not an important product for Google, at least not important enough. Slack and other products provide quick and simple multiple methods for attaching multiple files, Google Chat requires a ton of clicks and multiple windows/tabs to achieve the same thing even if you accept currently best practices. Why would she have to do all the steps to have those temp files on Drive so she could select them on chat, much slower and gives extra work of maintaining those files later on. Our designer creates a few screenshots of what she made for the product, she wants to share it over a Space quickly for a quick feedback. Why force users to use Drive for something and most of the times just temporary. I run a company of 30 people and we are united in the opinion that this limitation is a big disappointment. I'm guessing your files are not already in Google Drive, so I don't know why that's the case. If you're already working with Google Drive and storing your files there then all you would do is, from Google Chat, add the folder link to the chat and then carry on working from there - no need to upload or download the files. Slack, that doesn't offer a comprehensive file hosting system like Drive, because the functionality you want is provided in a different way. The experience is not designed to be like other apps, e.g. The core of Google Workspace is Google Drive and if you're not using Google Drive as your only or first storage solution then the rest of the Google Workspace experience will be poor for you, as they are designed on the expectation you're using Google Workspace to the full, Google Drive especially. ![]() ![]() Google's not going to add a feature to Google Chat just for the sake of making it the same as other apps, or to make it more convenient to move files, when Google already expects your files to be in Google Drive and working on them there. Maybe once you've explained why these files need to be somewhere other than Google Drive then Google may see the benefit in adding the feature. Why would you want to upload/download files in the first place when you'll be working on them in Google Drive anyway? Or, to word it another way, why are these files not living in Google Drive and only existing there? If they are on Google Drive to start with, and that's where they should only be, why are you needing to upload and download files? You appear to be trying to make Google Workspace fit your old working practices when you should be changing your working practices to fit Google Workspace. ![]() I understand your point but it's not how Google Workspace works or how Google intends you to use Google Workspace.
