Google Doc Movies Official

Google may crack down harder. If Google implements AI that can scan shared Docs for patterns of piracy (e.g., "Here is a link to Oppenheimer.avi"), the era of the Google Doc index may end.

Because Google Drive allows previews of MP4 files directly in the browser, a user can open a Doc, click a link, and start watching a movie within seconds—all without leaving Google’s ecosystem.
