Comments on Microsoft Office files enabled within the Google Drive

Collaborating between Microsoft Office and Google G Suite has become easier than ever as Google enables commenting on Microsoft Office files within their platform. As long as any file is on the platform, users can comment on a given Microsoft Office document or spreadsheet directly in the Google Drive file preview.

This new level of communication goes both ways, meaning users can also reply directly to comments within the same file preview with a new "Reply" button, allowing for quick corrections, notes or responses to collaborator comments. According to Google, this is our commitment to improve interoperability between G Suite and Microsoft Office products.

This is a significant change for the users who use G suite for most of their cloud based workings. More of the features will roll out in coming days as the google drive working unfolds under this facility.
