Why would you want to upload/download files in the first place when you'll be working on them in Google Drive anyway? Or, to word it another way, why are these files not living in Google Drive and only existing there? If they are on Google Drive to start with, and that's where they should only be, why are you needing to upload and download files?

You appear to be trying to make Google Workspace fit your old working practices when you should be changing your working practices to fit Google Workspace. Hope this helps.I understand your point but it's not how Google Workspace works or how Google intends you to use Google Workspace. If you're encountering errors with file attachments, you can try connecting to a different network or reinstalling the app itself. Please check this link for more details about sharing files in Google Chat. The way it is now gets very confusing trying to keep track of conversation. *Also, I’d love the have the bubbles back… like in Hangouts, where each person’s msg was on a separate side of the screen. Please can you work on solving this problem. Very annoying as they are the devices I use. So I can only assume now that the most recent updates are not compatible with iPads. Yesterday I installed Google Chat onto my iPhone and it does work there. I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling the App, several times.

I’ve been doing LOADS of experimenting to try and solve the issue, as before that I had no problems at all. And sometimes I can send some photos, but not others, it’s very random. Also, sometimes I cannot send photos either. Since your update about 4-5 weeks ago I CANNOT send any videos from my iPads in Google Chat (even ones that I have previously sent). Seems to be a compatibility issue with iPads
