We know that you work with a variety of file formats in Google Drive. That’s why, starting today, we’re making it possible to preview password-protected Microsoft Office documents, presentations, and spreadsheets in Drive. Going forward, when you attempt to open one of these file types in Drive on the web, you’ll be prompted to enter the password and, upon doing so successfully, you’ll see a read-only preview of that document.
