Your Google Drive provides an easy way to embed Documents and Video into websites. Any document that Google Drive can open to view (I've tested .doc, .pdf, and .ppt) as well as any image or video files that can be previewed in Google Drive can be embedded by using an embed code that you can grab from the "file" menu.
You MUST make sure to make the file that you want to embed "public" under the sharing menu or else those who visit your website will not be able to see the content of your embed. Google is kind enough to display the sharing settings on your file above the embed link to remind you to change it if not set to public.
