To clarify: The Google Apps block allows users to take the URL that get from Google Docs' "share" button, paste that into a text field, and our code transforms it into the correct iframe embed code. This relies on regular expressions that are able to extract the Google Doc ID from the share URL.

Google has begun changing the generated "share" URLs to use the domain name "drive.google.com" instead of "docs.google.com". This means that the regular expressions we use to extract the Google Doc ID, no longer match the provided URL, and that's why the block doesn't work.

To thoroughly test this, we will need the assistance of someone who has an account that is generating the new "drive.google.com" addresses. If you are such a person, please speak up here and let us know! :)
