Does Apple offer a bulk conversion process to convert Word/Excel to Pages/Numbers? I can't seem to find anything but I know Google does offer this service with their Drive and Docs/Sheets... was kind of hoping I could easily drop a bunch of files and have them convert, rather than do them one by one.

I don't know of anything but this should be relatively easy to do with Applescript, if you don't mind digging into that? You'd set up a loop with on open fileList, and then tell Pages (or Numbers, or Keynote) to open the file and save it again.

Word to Pages should be ok if you can find a way to automate. I would not recommend bulk conversion of Excel to Numbers though unless your Excel spreadsheets are one tab simple spreadsheets, as complex spreadsheets do not convert to Numbers very well.
