Works just as expected. Every publicly available file type opened in the Google Docs/Drive viewer without any issues.

A extensão é boa. mas quando vc desloga de uma conta de e-mail e vai para outra conta de e-mail, ela continua abrindo o arquivo com a conta do e-mail anterior, o que ao meu ver é relativamente perigoso.
