Google Meet’s file sharing system has just become less disruptive

After the long-awaited in-meeting reactions were finally rolled out last week, Google Meet is now getting yet another update that further enhances one existing feature: file sharing. With just two improvements added, Google has made file sharing via Meet a breeze.

The most important improvement included with the update makes it possible share access to the content presented in a meeting with attendees, including everyone on the Calendar guest list. All that can now be done directly from Meet, no need to use third-party apps.

It’s now easy to share the file you want from the floating action menu or through the suggestion in the Meet Chat. If you’re one of the attendees at the presentation, you should see a notification when you have a shared file, as well as a link to the file that will be automatically shared in the meeting chat.

Another important addition to the app will provide a prompt with the file access dialog whenever you paste a link into the meeting chat. After the prompt, you’ll be able to adjust access and choose to attach the file to the calendar event if you wish.
