A: With the release of Google Drive, Google's cloud-based file storage service, Google has released several new file types that allow you to access Google Docs documents online. These files serve as pointers to the actual documents, which are stored in a Google Drive account. When you open one of these files, Google Docs will launch in your web browser and open the file.

Below is a list of the new Google Drive file types and their associated file extensions:

Google Drive includes a web-based application as well as a desktop client for Mac OS X and Windows. The desktop client installs a special local folder named Google Drive that synchronizes any files placed in the folder with the remote Google Drive. Upon installation, it also creates a file for each Google Doc on the user's account.

Each Google Docs file uses a simple text format containing a URL to the online document. For example, the following text is from a sample GDOC file:

Google
{'url': 'https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1xafOwm4z3vxYeq9_-gCbtU5y0L9iJni0EZFMcLswecc/edit', 'resource_id': 'presentation:1xafOwm4z3vxYeq9_-gCbtU5y0L9iJni0EZFMcLswecc'}
