Nexus 5 Google Drive .GIF Issue

[ilovemy911]

I recently purchased a Nexus 5 and, for some reason, .GIF files will not animate via the Google Drive application. Oddly enough, they work just fine if I access my drive from within Chrome. Whenever I try to view .GIFs, I get an "animated image could not be loaded" error.

I have tried clearing the cache and the app data and I have tried both the updated and non-updated version of the app.

Despite a thorough search of the good, old interwebs, I haven't encountered anything concerning this issue.

Help would be greatly appreciated!
