This is a simple macOS background app to preview Google Documents, Slides, and Sheets directly from Finder using Quick Look (i.e. pressing Space when a file is highlighted). A few things to note:
- Only works for files with public link sharing enabled
- If anyone knows how to hijack Drive for Desktop's auth session to allow previews of private docs, lmk
- I recommend adding the
.appfile to your "Login Items," since the preview only works if the app is running. - View only (no edit support)
- Only tested with Google Docs files (
.gdoc) on macOS 13.1, but should work with other macOS versions and Google file types listed here.
