We are making Markdown files work natively across Google Drive and Docs.
You can now preview .md files in Drive, open them in Docs, edit them, comment on them, and collaborate without converting the file into a Google Doc!

Markdown has become the common language between humans and AI agents - specs, plans, READMEs, tables, task lists, generated docs - so much of this starts as .md.
Now you can keep the file as Markdown and still use your favorite Docs collaboration workflows. :)

I am excited about this because it removes a lot of small but painful friction: no import/export loops, fewer broken formats, and comments/collaboration where teams already work.
