The Ultimate Guide to Using Zight with Google Drive: Add Visual Context to Your Files and Folders

Google Drive is where teams organize their work—but too often, important files are shared without context, slowing collaboration and creating confusion. Integrating Zight with Google Drive lets you add instant clarity through videos, screenshots, GIFs, and AI-powered summaries—right where your files live.

In this guide, you’ll learn how Zight enhances the Google Drive experience by making your file sharing smarter, faster, and more human.

Why Visual Communication is a Game-Changer in Google Drive

When you share a file, you often need to explain why it matters or what to do with it. Instead of sending a long email or Slack message, Zight helps you:
