What is a GDOCX File Type?
The GDOCX files are similar to the shortcut files. When you double-click on a GDOCX file, it opens the actual word processing document stored in Google Drive. Instead of a GDOCX file, you can see a .GDOC file, which stores the same information but is more common.
Google Drive is a file storage service that can be installed in Windows or MacOS as a desktop client to synchronize remote Google Drive files with a local computer. If you install the Google Drive desktop, your Google Docs documents are available in a special folder called Google Drive, which is located on the local hard drive. This directory is used to synchronize files with the remote Google Drive. When you double-click on a GDOCX file, the document is opened in Google Drive in your default web browser.
Google Drive desktop applications have been discontinued in 2018, but you can still access Google Drive online.
