I have some documents stored in my iCloud drive. I want to preview them using the new Files app. When I attempt to open them using the Files app Google Drive starts up and asks me to copy them to my Google Drive. If I choose not to copy them I can't view the file. There does not seem to be away to view them just within Files without Google stomping it's big feet all over them.

Is there a setting somewhere to switch this behaviour off?
