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! :)

Bug description:
  The Google Apps code is broken as Google issued new URLs.
  Unfortunately, they are not yet all visible to everyone. I can still
  see the Google Docs URL, but Ulrike Montgomery from Germany already
  has the new Drive one.

  Here is one for a document:
