Hi, when I download my saved chats from the Google Ai Studio folder at google drive, they save without an extension. When I edit them as needed and reupload them back into the folder, they don’t have the same icon and aren’t recognised by google Ai studio when I go back to the history section.
Hello,
Welcome to the Forum!
When you save a chat in Google AI Studio, it is stored in Gdrive as a JSON file without a .json extension and is marked with special metadata.
If you download and re-upload it, the metadata is lost, so GDrive treats it as a new file. As a result, AI Studio no longer recognizes it as part of your chat history.
Here is this THREAD, READ IT, MY FRIEND:
Lalit, you simply described the reality about the difference between the prompt and the JSON to another user.As a developer, you also see this difference clearly, and the operation you described perfectly proves how Google rips off the users.Let’s look at the hardcore facts:The “Delete” button is a visual illusion. This is an orbital lie, because it is not the prompt that goes into the trash, but the JSON file! The delete button lies hardcore about this too, and whoever invented the description for it is straight up lying. Because the JSON and the prompt are two completely different things.The difference between the prompt and the JSON shows exactly how the actual data retention happens in the background. Google would have an obligation to give a substantive response to this technical fact, but they have been silent for months.But you cannot do this, because you put your answer in writing here on the server, right in the forum post, therefore I am going to sue YOU personally for protecting your lying company. No more dodging, now you must speak up!
