Written by Ironpaper | Feb 20, 2011 8:06:54 PM

Google Docs has expanded file type support for 12 new doc types. Microsoft Office documents seem like a natural evolution for the Google Docs viewer. It may be a pleasant surprise to discover that Adobe files are now supported by the viewer. You can actually view an Adobe Photoshop file inside Google Docs--and it actually looks quite decent. It can be a great way to archive and track progress for web designers and project management teams within the Google business environment.
