Work in Google Docs Offline 

Last week, our school ran into some internet issues. It happens to the best of us. You are working on a document in Google Docs or Sheets and suddenly, you lose connection to the internet. However, what most people forget is you can continue to work in Google Docs offline as long as you have it selected in Settings and you are using Google Chrome.

Here is how:
  1. Go to your drive account (drive.google.com)
  2. In the top right, click on the cog icon 
  3. Go to Settings
  4. Make sure to put a checkmark in the box under Offline. This will allow you to work offline and allow the documents to sync when the internet returns.

That’s it! It is not perfect and there are some bugs with working offline such as not being able to use all of the functions (like use the Explore feature) and you do need to have Google Drive already opened in your browser before you go offline but it does work in a jiffy if you need it.
