Within Teamwork.com, you can create a new Google document directly from the files area of a project.

To do this you must first enable the Google Drive integration on your site then enable it on the individual project, ensuring you select your root/top level folder. 

Note: Only site owner or site admins will have the permissions to enable the site integration.

Once both of these have been enabled, navigate to the Files area of the relevant project and click the Google Drive option in the top right.
