Google Docs and Drive add native markdown preview, editing and collaboration

Google Workspace now lets users view, edit and collaborate on markdown (.md) files natively in Google Docs and Drive, without converting them to another format. Files keep their .md type and a visible badge in the document header, while Drive offers rendered previews with tables and hyperlinks or a toggle to raw text. Google positions markdown as a shared language for humans and AI agents, with real-time co-editing, line-level comments and version history covering both human and agent revisions; anyone with a Google or Workspace account can start by uploading an .md file to Drive.
