Powerpoint vs. Keynote in Google Drive

I was wondering if there is a way to have my students who use Keynote instead of PowerPoint put their presentation into a Google Drive Folder and be able to play it from the Drive? As of now I have to download their presentations to be able to view or play them. However my students who use PowerPoint or Google Docs I have no problems playing them directly from the Drive. Is there something that I am missing? TIA!

Have your students "SAVE AS" PowerPoint when they save their Keynotes. Then they can upload save in google drive. GD handles powerpoints well. In fact, if you open a PPT on an iPad you have more editin options than if you create the presentation right in the Google Slides App!!

Thank you! I know that the Google Slides app is limited on the iPad. Even adding pictures to slides is near impossible. Which I feel defeats the purpose of students making presentations. I will have them save their projects as powerpoints. I regularly have them do this on the computer. However, I don't use keynote on the iPad so I am not as comfortable when it comes to helping them out. Thanks again.
