Attaching files & cloud connectors

Bring your own documents into Chat — upload, attach from Library, connect cloud drives, or use speech-to-text.

Chat works best when it can see your material.

You can attach files from your device, Library, or connected cloud accounts — and speak instead of typing.

Attachment limits are shown in the composer (direct uploads and library items count separately; items inside folders count toward the library limit).

Attach files

  1. In the message box, click the attachment / upload button.
  2. Choose:
    • Upload from your computer
    • Google Drive or OneDrive (if connected)
    • From Library — pick folders or files (items inside folders count toward limits)
  3. Ask Chat about the files — e.g. "Summarise this" or "Make flashcards from chapter 2."

Smart File Processing — when you attach many files, Chat uses agent tools to analyze content beyond normal context limits.

Speech-to-text

Click the microphone to dictate your message instead of typing.

  • Recording stops after idle silence or a maximum session length.
  • Your speech is transcribed into the message box before sending.
  • You can edit the transcription before you send.

Connect a cloud account

  1. Go to Settings → Connectors.
  2. Click Connect for:
    • Google Drive — attach files to chat; export Google Forms to Drive.
    • Microsoft OneDrive — attach OneDrive files to chat or library.
    • Canva — open slide decks in the Canva editor.
  3. Approve access. Disconnect anytime from the same page.

File and library attachment limits are shown in the composer. Connectors must be enabled for your workspace — ask your school admin if one is missing.
