Opening docx files in Google Drive viewer when other apps capture intent

I'd like to open docx files directly into Google Drive viewer. When another application like Epson iPrint or Termux is installed, I don't have other choice than those apps. When they're not installed, it opens in Google Drive viewer like a charm. I think it is related with intent-filters. When examining manifest files : - Termux has a VIEW intent-fiter on application/*. - Epson iPrint has a VIEW intent-fiter on application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document (and others) which is the mime type of docx document. - Google Drive has a VIEW intent-filter on */* so should be able to open anything. Is there a workaround for this problem ? (appart from uninstalling other apps of course) Is this a bug or on purpose (thanks in advance to android devs here) ? I already tried "Open with" type apps with no chances...
