One of the more notable changes that's been announced is the way that Google Docs will move forward handling Microsoft Office docs. This is a great update for people who want to collaborate on documents and don't all have a copy of Microsoft Office. If you exchange data with partners, vendors or team colleagues, and you use Microsoft Office, and others use G Suite, the program will make it possible to open them and edit them without conversion. "Office editing brings everyone the benefits of G Suite's real time collaboration tools and intelligence features to Office files".
In terms of supported file types, Google Docs will support.doc, .docx, and.dot files in Word, .xls, .xlsx, .xlsm and.xlt files in Excel and.ppt, .pptx, .pps and.pot files in PowerPoint. First, Slack announced that it'll let you view documents without leaving the app, and then Dropbox enabled editing Google Docs within its own cloud storage app. However, the company later confirmed this will work for all users.
