Are there any google docs proxies, like how Piped is a YouTube proxy? (lemmy.ml)

I sometimes get linked google docs links and would like to view them without visiting a google site directly.

They were asking about a proxy, not a frontend. Like, invidious and piped are YouTube frontends, but both of them has a proxy feature, always-on with piped, which makes the frontend proxy all requests (even video segments) through the server of your choice.

So with a proxy service, google will not see your IP, unless the proxy you use is a mole.
