Anthropic bridges feature gap with Google Drive support for Claude

Anthropic has recently released an update for Claude, introducing a feature that allows paid plan users to connect their Google Drive accounts and attach Google Docs and Spreadsheets directly to conversations. The update is prominently announced with a banner on the homepage. When users click the banner, they are prompted to connect their Google account. After connecting, users can access a drop-down menu displaying their documents, significantly simplifying file management and enabling quicker access to their files.

This new feature brings Claude in line with similar functionalities offered by other platforms. For example, Gemini implements this capability through extensions, while ChatGPT uses its connectors feature. With this update, Anthropic has successfully closed a key feature gap, providing a more streamlined experience for its users.
