The Google viewer that is used to display the document cannot load files from ‘localhost’, so you would have to move your site to a publicly-accessible web server to use the plugin.
I hope that helps!
Thanks,

Minor clarification – you must move your document to a publicly accessible web server to use the plugin. Your site can still remain on localhost if need be. Details about this are in the plugin FAQ.
Umm.. How? Can you give me an example?
Again, that information is easily found in the plugin FAQ. Your WordPress site can run on localhost and still use GDE; but make sure that the file URL you put in the shortcode links to a document that is publicly accessible:
[gview file="http://somerealsite.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/java01.ppt"]
for example.
Hi!
Thank you, it worked!
Although it would’ve been better if there was a slider for the document type..
Like a back and forth button for slideshows..
Hi..
I am facing issues with Docx type documents. I get the message “no preview available”
