Google Enables Drive-Based Sharing for Gemini ‘Gems’

The update brings Gem distribution into Drive’s permission model for easier reuse and organizational control.

Overview

  • Creators can now share custom Gemini assistants from the web Gem manager via a new Share button on the Explore Gems page.
  • Recipients open a chat with a notice that the Gem is shared, then find it in a Shared with me section with options to make a copy or edit when allowed.
  • A Gemini Gems folder appears in Google Drive after sharing, and items are protected by Drive permissions with changes reflected in both Drive and Gemini.
  • The feature is live for personal and Workspace accounts today on the web, while mobile sharing is not yet available.
  • Google highlights uses such as education, family trip planning, meal planning, collaborative writing, and maintaining consistent assistants across teams.
