Preview, edit, and collaborate on markdown (.md) files natively in Google Docs and Drive

Google Workspace now enables users to natively view, edit, and collaborate on Markdown files directly in Google Docs and Drive without converting them to another format, preserving compatibility with developer tools, AI workflows, and Git repositories. The update positions Markdown as a shared format for human teams and AI agents, supporting real-time co-editing, line-level comments, suggestions, and version history to maintain a transparent single source of truth. Google Drive also provides rendered Markdown previews with support for tables and hyperlinks, as well as an option to view raw text. The feature is available to anyone with a Google or Workspace account by uploading an .md file to Google Drive.
