Just tried it out and to my disappointment, it doesn't allow me to send a file other than images to other users. Google engineers if you are listening please add the ability to send docs and files to other users!
- joncrocks 10y agoPresumably this is because they don't want hangouts to become a de facto file sharing service, by the fact that the person you're messaging could be offline and you might expect the content to be archived/re-downloadable. The fact that pictures are shareable is (I think) because they do/can put the pictures into a google photos gallery. What you probably want to do is put it in google drive and then share a link in hangouts. (Not a googler)
