Noticed first a couple of days ago, the browser based version of Google Drive can now view Open Document Format (ODF) files. Initial tests have confirmed that both word processing (ODT) and spreadsheet (ODS) files will open in Drive. Drive is Google 's offering in the cloud storage market. The service includes web based applications for editing office productivity files. Until just recently, ODF files could only be downloaded in order to be read. At this point, web application productivity suites are light on features compared to their desktop brethren, so this addition is a welcome convenience, to be sure.
