Google Docs works offline now.
- chc 15y agoThat just means that if you already had Google Docs open, you'll be able to keep typing away and it'll commit the changes when it gets a network connection again. It doesn't mean you can access your Google Docs (i.e. open up Chrome and type "docs.google.com" and expect anything to happen) without a network connection.
- MatthewPhillips 15y agoYes, you can.
- chc 15y agoI just turned off my Wi-Fi and typed "docs.google.com" into the address bar — Chrome says it can't find the site. So I, at least, can't. Based on the Google blog post about offline Google docs, it looks like it's a lot more complicated than that.
- MatthewPhillips 15y agoYou have to turn it on. When online and in Docs, click on the gear thingy in the top-right. There should have been an intro/help pop-up when you logged in after they rolled out the feature, did for me.
- chc 15y agoWeird, I never got it, and I'm on Docs daily. Guess I'm just an outlier. Thanks for setting me straight.
