Google finally opens up file uploads and analysis for all free Gemini users

Uploading files for analysis and summarization can take a basic chatbot to the next level, turning it into a much more powerful digital assistant. Gemini has had this trick up its sleeve since late last year, letting users pull insights, generate summaries, and even create charts. However, it was locked behind the $20/month Gemini Advanced subscription. For many, that price tag felt a bit steep for just one feature. Thankfully, Google promised last week that the upload-and-analyze feature would roll out to free users, and now it’s officially available to everyone.
