Google Docs adds native Markdown support

Google Docs and Drive now natively support Markdown files.

Previously, users had to convert .md files to Docs format, often losing formatting or comments. Now, files can be opened, edited, and collaborated on directly in Docs, while Drive renders previews including links and tables.

The rollout began October 5, 2026, for all Workspace and personal accounts, completing over up to 15 days.
