Google Docs is handy for editing documents online, and can serve as a complete MS Office alternative.
However if you don't have MS Office installed you can't view those files without right click it then > google drive > View on the web
I tried to associate it with Google Drive program using the .exe I found (googledrivesync.exe) and Google Chrome but won't work.
How to open them in Google chrome easily by double clicking? System is Windows 7 x64
Answer
You need to download the Office Editing for Docs, Sheets & Slides extension by Google.
After downloading it and installing it:
Right-click the file you want to open ( .ppt, .doc, .xls )
Click "Open with" then "Choose default program" and associate it with Google Chrome and enjoy it ( it should be in the "Other programs" tabs without requiring you to manually find the .exe)
This is the process for Windows 7.
