What to know

  • Gemini is preparing Drive, Files and Photos attachment choices for its email-draft composer.
  • Drafting, editing and sending Gmail messages in Gemini chats is already public.
  • We found dedicated attachment-source labels and an email attachment prompt in Google app 17.74.14.

Gemini’s email-draft composer is getting a menu for choosing attachments from Drive, Files and Photos. Our teardown found separate entries for those sources, alongside a prompt that explicitly connects the files to the email.

Email drafting itself is already public. Google’s Android help page documents composing, editing and sending Gmail messages within Gemini chats. The new finding here is the attachment-source menu inside that existing composer.

About APK teardowns — An APK teardown examines an app’s code and resources to uncover features still in development. These features can change, remain behind server-side flags, or be dropped before they reach your phone.

The attachment menu names Drive, Files and Photos

Each source has its own menu entry under the email-draft attachment keys. An “Add attachment” label accompanies them, while the instruction “Attach these files to the email” spells out the intended action:

assistant_robin_email_draft_add_attachment_description = "Add attachment"
assistant_robin_email_draft_add_attachment_drive_menu_item = "Drive"
assistant_robin_email_draft_add_attachment_files_menu_item = "Files"
assistant_robin_email_draft_add_attachment_photos_menu_item = "Photos"
assistant_robin_email_draft_attach_files_prompt = "Attach these files to the email"

The labels establish the source choices, but they do not specify supported file types or attachment limits.

For an email that needs a document or photo, these additions would put attachment selection alongside the draft you’re already editing in Gemini.
