You can now ask Google Drive to catch you up on file changes your colleagues made
Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority
TL;DR Google has announced a 'Catch me up' feature for Google Drive.
This feature summarizes changes made to your files since you last viewed them.
The feature is available now but is currently restricted to English.
Google has brought generative AI features to many products and services, and the company's productivity tools are no exception. Now, the company is using Gemini to bring you up to speed on file changes in Google Drive.
The company announced a 'Catch me up' feature in Google Drive yesterday (June 3), which summarizes the changes made to your file since you last viewed it. This feature can be activated by visiting Google Drive's home page and tapping the star icon next to your file's name. You can also tap the 'Catch me up' button at the top of your home page to view a summary of changes to all your files since you last viewed them.
'Starting today, Gemini can identify relevant files from a user's Drive with changes since it was last viewed and provide an overview of those changes,' the company explained. Google added that 'Catch me up' supports file edits in Google Docs as well as file comments in Docs, Sheets, and Slides.
Google stressed that summaries delivered by the feature aren't comprehensive, saying that it aims to reveal 'helpful and important' changes.
This could be handy if you frequently collaborate with colleagues and others on documents, spreadsheets, and other files. Google's productivity tools do allow you to track changes via the version history page, while also letting you view comments and other annotations from others within the file. However, this is an easier way to quickly get up to speed on edits and feedback from contributors.
In any event, 'Catch me up' started rolling out yesterday but is restricted to English for now. Not seeing it just yet? The company says you might have to wait up to 15 days to see the feature.

Winklevoss twins' crypto firm Gemini confidentially files for IPO
Gemini, the cryptocurrency exchange and custodian founded by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, has confidentially filed for an IPO in the U.S., according to a press release on Friday. The number of shares and the pricing terms have not yet been decided upon, and the company said a listing "is expected to occur after the SEC completes its review process, subject to market and other conditions." By filing confidentially, Gemini can test investor appetite and prepare for a public debut without immediate scrutiny of its financials. The announcement comes after the SEC wrapped up its investigation into Gemini in February without recommending enforcement action, and follows a $5 million settlement with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission in January. Gemini is the latest crypto firm to pursue a public listing as President Donald Trump's administration pushes more favorable regulations for the industry, which heavily funded his campaign. Stablecoin issuer Circle held a blockbuster debut this week, with its stock soaring in its first two days on the market. Mike Novogratz's Galaxy Digital moved its listing from Toronto to the Nasdaq last month. Gemini, a cryptocurrency exchange and custodian, was founded by the Winklevoss twins in 2014. In March, the company named former Affirm executive Dan Chen as its CFO in preparation for a public offering. "I'm looking forward to helping Gemini scale by driving financial strategy as the company enters its next phase of growth," Chen wrote in a post on LinkedIn at the time.

Crypto exchange Gemini confidentially files for US IPO
(Reuters) -Crypto exchange Gemini said on Friday it had confidentially filed for a U.S. initial public offering, as digital asset companies move to tap into renewed investor risk appetite amid improving market conditions. Several high-profile companies, including those in high-risk sectors such as crypto and financial technology, have launched successful listings in recent weeks, reflecting pent-up demand. Earlier this week, stablecoin issuer Circle went public in a blowout debut on the New York Stock Exchange. Analysts said Circle's successful debut could encourage more cryptocurrency firms to pursue public listings, adding that the trajectory is likely to embolden others eyeing stock market debuts. Gemini, which operates a trading platform enabling investors to buy, sell and store more than 70 crypto tokens, said it has not yet determined the size or proposed price range for its offering. The surge in cryptocurrency IPOs signals a potential turning point for the industry, suggesting growing confidence among digital asset firms in their ability to attract mainstream investors. This wave of public listings could bring increased transparency, regulatory scrutiny and capital to the sector, helping solidify crypto's place within traditional financial markets. However, analysts have cautioned that challenges remain as companies navigate volatile markets and evolving regulations. In May, Coinbase became the first U.S. crypto-focused company to join the S&P 500, a watershed moment for the industry that signaled rising mainstream acceptance of digital assets. As the sector matures financially and in regulatory matters, crypto firms are becoming more integrated into the traditional market landscape. This marks a sharp turnaround for an industry that spent more than a decade under intense regulatory scrutiny worldwide. After the collapse of crypto exchange FTX in 2022, many institutional investors retreated from the digital asset market. Prices later recovered, and the sector gained renewed momentum when U.S. President Donald Trump voiced support during his campaign, pledging to be a "crypto president."
