Converting Word Documents to Google docs in Box

Hi Valerie, 

Welcome to the Box Community!

There is no way to convert your word documents to google docs in Box, you will have to convert your file first before uploading them to your Box account.

If you have any product feature request or suggestions, you may post your idea on pulse.box.com for more visibility. Our product team reviews all submissions and will consider whether to include feedback in their product roadmap. 

Thanks for your question and let us know how else we can help!
