Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Incompatibility with google ecosystem.
Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like to be able to preview my notes stored in google docs, that are synced to my documents folder.
One solution may be to share gdrive folders containing gdocs notes with a link and then store the URL(s) making them viewable.
Less importantly, being able to preview google slides and sheets would be a useful addition.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Opening the files directly is slow as it redirects to google docs in the browser.
Currently I save the notes as PDF files and view them that way, but any changes are not reflected.
Additional context
I am not sure how possible this would be, privacy and accessing the file would be an issue.
It would be helpful to have the same sort of integration as seen with the microsoft office ecosystem.
Filetypes: .gdoc .gsheet .gslides

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by examining how QuickLook currently handles Microsoft Office or other document previews, then determine whether .gdoc, .gsheet, and .gslides require URL storage and Google access. Done would mean a defined, privacy-conscious preview flow for the requested file types.
