Is there a way to convert DOCX to Google Docs directly in Google Drive?

Question

Before, Google Docs would automatically convert Word files when you open it using the "Open with > Google Docs" command on Google Drive.

But recently, it updated to allow native editing of Office files. So now I have to open .docx files with Google Docs, and then select "File > Save as Google Docs" just to convert .docx into Google Docs format.

Is there a faster way to do this?

Note: Simply switching to Google Docs is not an option, as we still heavily use Word in our organization.
