Is there no file export format that can be directly imported to Google Drive?

Question

I'm trying to export a list of issues and then import it to Google Drive (for reformatting, sharing, etc.). But when I export as either Excel or Word, Google fails on importing it with the following error:

"This file could not be imported because the contents of the file do not match the file extension."

Looks like this issue has been around for a while (http://goo.gl/T8CKUB). Users noted that they could open the file in another program (Excel, OpenOffice), save it, then re-import it successfully. Seems like a lot to ask (i.e., seems like a bug).

Is there any support for exporting search results in a format that can be directly imported and then edited in Google Drive?

Thx Gaurav. Like I said, seems like the same issue that was logged a long time ago: the exported file is treated as invalid by Google Drive; users have to re-save a local copy using another program for the file to be valid.

If that's the case I guess the answer is, no, Jira exports cannot be directly imported and edited in Google Drive. It'd be great to hear the status of this bug. Seems like it would be pretty trivial to fix, either through exporting a fully-valid .xls or .doc file or - even better - by supporting a standard format like .csv (another outstanding request).
