12 More File Formats added to Google Docs


Google Docs makes viewing the documents even more faster than first downloading them and opening them locally, it is just like service at your doorstep (Yes, in your Gmail Inbox!). It is used by millions of people around the world, now it just got a lot more useful. Earlier it only supported formats like PDF, Microsoft Word and PowerPoint files.
Today, Google has launched a dozen more file types for its viewer:
  • Microsoft Excel (.XLS and .XLSX)
  • Microsoft PowerPoint 2007/10 (.PPTX)
  • Apple Pages (.PAGES)
  • Adobe Illustrator (.AI)
  • Adobe Photoshop (.PSD) [Yay!]
  • Autodesk AutoCad (.DXF)
  • Scalable Vector Graphics (.SVG)
  • PostScript (.EPS, .PS)
  • TrueType (.TTF)
  • XML Paper Specification (.XPS)
In Gmail, there is a "VIEW" button for all these file types now. Yay! It supports PSD too! :D
Google Docs Viewer is available for any website, click HERE for more information.
But keep it in mind that can't create files using Docs. Viewing the PSD file on Google Docs was an unusual but awesome feeling, it is good to have a quick peek on the files before downloading them and cluttering your hard disk with unwanted files.
