OpenAI has announced that its latest update to ChatGPT will include new integrations with major cloud storage units to allow business users to pull files from Google Drive and OneDrive for additional context.
The improvements are scheduled to be implemented over the course of the next few weeks and will be based on the company's latest GPT-4o model.
However, there is a problem: free users will not benefit from the latest updates. Instead, Plus, Team, and Enterprise users will be first in line, meaning you'll have to shell out at least $20 per month if you want to be part of the improvements.
ChatGPT integrations with OneDrive and Google Drive
As part of the update, users will soon be able to access files from cloud storage platforms through a new integration that should eliminate the need to manually download files and upload them to the chatbot.
OpenAI says that “this allows ChatGPT to understand your [documents] faster.”
Although free account holders will miss out on tighter integration, all accounts will still be able to upload files directly to the window, as is already the case.
In addition to this useful addition, ChatGPT has also gained new interactive capabilities with tables and graphs. When you click on a specific data entry, for example, ChatGPT will guide you to provide more contextualized responses.
Using these two capabilities together, paying users will be able to generate, customize and interact with bar, line, pie and scatter charts, before downloading them for use in presentations and documents.
Additionally, the company's new GPT-4o model, which accepts and outputs any combination of text, audio, image, and video, is now rolling out to all tiers, including free accounts. However, paid accounts will have access to more features.
