The same phenomenon occurred to me, but I could solve it by changing the application to open.

Here is the solution:

Tap Apps & notifications on your mobile

Tap the Google Drive. If you don't see it, first tap See all apps or App info.

Tap Force stop.

After you tap Force stop, please tap Storage and then Clear storage or Clear data and then OK.

That's it. Have fun, guys. My problem is gone!

Annoying been doing it to me for the past week. Clearing cache stops it but once you open it again it comes back, think we need google to fix the problem on the next update.

So I've been having the same problem on my android phone since the latest update of Google Drive. I had tried all the suggestions provided here and even several others, only to have the problem appear fixed but eventually reappeared. I finally installed the Google Docs app and set its input to be from Drive, and set Drive docs to "Open with" the Google Docs app.. I've not had the problem since doing that.. Though Drive had worked fine for years without the Docs app being installed, it now appears that both of them must be installed and set to associate files with each other. Google developers really screwed us with this one!

Clearing cache helps, but then Google is opening txt file in Microsoft Word app (I have it installed). I don't want to read/edit it in MS Word, why is Google suddenly forcing us to use MS Word for a simple text file?

Also, MS Word is creating another copy of txt file if you want to edit it. Very annoying.

I uninstalled MS Word and tried opening it and editing again in Google Drive. Now, it sends me to Play Store to download MS Word. Crazy!

If I open a txt file with "Open with" option in Drive, it creates a copy of the file in the root. Why? Just why?

Google and MS are playing games to swing us in the direction they want us to go, but the path is not clear or easy and we are suffering. We can't stop using the Windows machines and we want to use Google ecosystem!
