In
a new update, Google Drive is letting users leave feedback on uploaded
Microsoft Office files, PDFs, and images without needing to convert them into a
Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides. This change is aimed at increasing
Drive’s interoperability with the multitude of file types in use.
This
new functionality lives within the Drive preview pane. In addition to being
able to view other document types, users can now take action on Office, PDF, or
image files as if they were native Google Drive formats.
In
the Drive preview pane, comment, assign tasks, or mention coworkers and the
people you work can reply back, even if they’re not using G Suite. Let’s say
your coworker opens a file on her Windows laptop using MS Word, she will see
your comment in the file and can reply right from there.
This
takes away the tedious step of converting a third-party document into a Google
Drive file. As part of this increased interoperability between G Suite and
Office products, Drive users can now make inline (anchored) comments in PDFs,
images, and Office file formats.
his
new feature also supports importing and exporting comments to the underlying
file for certain OOXML file formats such as MS Office file formats(.docx,
.xlsx, .pptx) and PDF files. This means that existing comments available in
those file formats will be imported and displayed in Drive Preview.
Additionally, comments made in Drive Preview will be exported to the underlying
file so that when you open up the file using the local client application, you
will be able to see the comments made in Drive Preview.
