Description
I store all of my files in Google Drive and often want to access them directly on my computer (via finder) vs navigating to a browser first.
E.g., I just searched for some files I wanted to attach in Messages. I found the folder, but given that Messages doesn't have "add files" in the UX as far as I can see, the fastest option seems to be dragging and dropping. Downloading from GDrive to my hard drive and then dropping is less efficient than going straight from finder.
Who will benefit from this feature?
All Google Drive users
