I have a big issue with Google Chat.

It doesn't have a feature to upload / download multiple files at a time.

It doesn't even allow drag and drop on the chat directly.

Uploading 10 files include

1) click upload

2) select one file

3) click send

* 10 = 30 clicks.
Which can be done by one drag and drop from Teams or Slack.

Downloading the 10 files are the same.

There is no way our company can use this service.

I hope to hear this feature will be updated in the VERY near future.

Otherwise, all other features and updates are useless.

Can you put all the files (or shortcuts to them) in a folder on Google Drive and share the folder in Chat?

Based on your thoughts, I can create a handwritten letter and send it by mail instead of using a digital application.
