Problem:
Document preview of Google docs, sheets, and slides in Projects is not supported. Additionally you cannot open a document added from your Google Drive in a project. To do this you need to turn on Google Drive in the Files app. To upload a document from your Google Drive:
- Navigate to a Project and tap the "+" icon
- Select "Document"
- Tap "Browse" at the top of the screen
- Tap "Drive" and select a document
- Tap the blue arrow.
When you tap the document, you see a grey screen and FYI prompts you to either "Preview" or "Share" the document. This is because Google Drive supports live editing of documents. Adding any document that supports live editing will also not be supported.
Workaround:
You can download the google doc as a pdf and upload it to a Project. Refer to our guide on how to add files from outside FYI to a project or chat for more information.
