Affected are not only google docs but also google sheets (and probably other types in an internal google format) - the unknown filesize is only a symptom of a deeper problem. Although mount reports those files with the corresponding office-file-extension, they are of in the google internal format (after all, this is a mount, not sync!). If you double click such a file, your installed office (Writer, rsp. Word ...) tries to open it and fails - because it is not in office but in google format. Only when you copy/paste the file it will be converted to the corresponding office-format and you can work locally with it.
