Large pastes are now handled as attachments

Starting today for ChatGPT Plus, Pro, and Business users, long pastes are handled differently in ChatGPT.

If you paste more than 5k characters into the composer, ChatGPT will automatically convert the content into an attachment instead of inserting it directly into the text field. This keeps the composer cleaner and helps prevent large pastes from consuming your entire context window.

You can still move the content back into the message at any time by clicking on Show in text field to convert the attachment back to a direct paste.

Google Drive app unification
Google’s file connectors in ChatGPT are now unified under Google Drive, providing a single app experience for interacting with your Google Docs, Sheets and Slides on Google Drive.

If you’re a new user, you can connect to the Google Drive app in ChatGPT to use Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, and Slides actions, removing the need to install and authenticate separate Google file apps. If you’ve already connected to the separate apps in the past, they will continue to work as normal. You can also reconnect the Google Drive app to get the new actions - ChatGPT will switch over once you’ve done the reconnection.
