Now you can say which of your colleagues can edit or view a particular file, you can set expiration dates and both passwords for shared links.

As you can see in the screenshot above, the Chrome extension Text can be assigned to edit (you guessed it) documents. Images are also supported, though it's not clear what other file types Google may allow extensions to access. Right now, it's limited to the Canary build of Chrome and requires a little bit of tinkering.
