How to open MS Office docs with Google Drive by default?

Question

Is it possible to set up Google Drive to open my .docx, .pptx, etc files by default like how it works with Google Docs files? I don't have MS Office installed so it's pretty annoying to have to upload the files to Google Drive every time I need to open it.

Thanks in advance!
