I'm not sure if anybody mention this but GDrive actually does not download documents to your local machine. It just adds a json document pointing to file to edit.
So what is point of GDrive?
- rjv 15y agoThis seems to only be the case with "Google" document formats (Google document, Google spreadsheet, etc). Every other file type seems to sync local files appropriately.
- tlogan 15y agoBut it is Google Docs... Meaning I still have to use some other tool to have offline access (and backup) of my documents? Isn't whole point of Dropbox to have offline access and (multiple) offline backups of your files?
- Achshar 15y agothose files will be opened with google docs web app. the web app itself can work offline. so your docs work offline.
- doctoboggan 15y agoHow do I enable this feature? Whenever I try to access my docs offline the page simply does not load. I am using a google apps account if that makes a difference.
- Achshar 15y agoThere is an option in settings drop down from top left of the homepage od docs. Also the offline url is https://docs.google.com/offline https://docs.google.com/offline. But you need to set up offline first from the menu i wrote about above.
