Trying to squeeze in some work as you wait at practice, music lessons, or doctor's appointments? You can access your recently accessed Google documents, sheets, and slides while offline. You can also start a new document, slide, sheet and then copy and paste it into your original when you are back online. (Caveat: Some functionality may not be available.) Emails you send while offline will send once you sync wifi again.
To activate offline access:
- Go to drive.google.com (or sheets.google.com or slides.google.com).
- Click the gear on the right
- Select Settings
- Look for "Offline" and click "Sync Google Docs......."
- Select Done
(give this time to sync)
