News | 14.01.2025
Easily respond to comments and access requests without leaving Google Chat with the auto-installed Google Drive Chat app
The Google Drive Chat app will automatically install and send notifications about recent activity in Google Drive documents, such as new comments and share requests.
Directly in Chat, you can now:
- Reply to or resolve comments in Docs, Sheets and Slides, which includes the ability to mention your colleagues easily while replying.
- Choose the appropriate access level (e.g. viewer, commenter, editor) for share requests.
- See when you’ve been mentioned in Docs, Sheets or Slides using Chat’s “Mentions” shortcut.
- Easily block a sender or report abuse from the Drive Chat app’s notifications when they come from a user outside of your organization.
While this new app will be automatically installed, you can easily manage notifications, and mute or uninstall the app at any time by going to the three-dot overflow menu.
Available to all Google Workspace customers.
