Some of these file types are not supported by the Google Docs Viewer, so you might not be able to preview the doc. If you try to do so, you'll see a message that no preview is available. Even if a document can't be previewed, it will still sync as expected. Read on the Google Docs Viewer to learn which Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint file types can be previewed.

The above file types are supported for files up to 50 MB. Larger files are not supported.
