Users are about to be allowed to edit Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint files in Google Docs

For Microsoft Office files in Google Docs, users can view them freely, but for editing or working groups you will have to change to Google format. This brings a frustrating experience to users.

To overcome this problem, Google decided to add native support for Word, Excel and PowerPoint formats like .docx, .xls and .ppt. This means users can collaborate in real time in Google Docs, Sheets and Slides.
