Zoho Writer Docx files not able to be converted into Google Docs

Zoho Writer Docx files not able to be converted into Google Docs

Since July 23rd, I've encountered an issue where DOCX files exported from Zoho Writer no longer convert properly into Google Docs when uploaded to Google Drive.

My workflow relies on generating merged DOCX documents from Zoho Forms using Zoho Writer templates, then uploading them to Drive where they’re automatically converted into Google Docs. As of yesterday, this process began throwing Google Drive errors. After some investigation, it appears that something changed in the DOCX export behavior between July 22nd and July 23rd.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue? This workflow is critical to my business, and I'm trying to determine whether to wait for a fix or start building a workaround.
