How To Use Google Docs In Offline Mode
If you use Google Drive, then you know all about the powerful document creation and editing tools that Google Docs offers. However, for a lawyer or legal assistant on the go, there will probably be times when you find yourself without access to the internet, especially when traveling. You can spend this time snoozing or you can be more productive by accessing your documents offline so you can continue your work uninterrupted. Then, once you have internet access again, the changes will be synced to your Google Drive account.
Enable offline access for your computers
Here are the steps to enable offline access for your computer or laptop (you need to do this BEFORE you no longer have internet access):
- Navigate to https://drive.google.com
- Click More on the left-hand side of the screen.
- Select Offline Docs.
- Setting up offline access is a two-step process. First, click the blue button that says Enable offline docs. After a few seconds, you'll be able to move on to the next step.
- On the right side of the dialog, click the blue button that says Install from Chrome web store. If you already have the app installed, you won't need to complete this step.
- You'll be taken to the Chrome web store. Click Add to Chrome in the upper-right corner of the browser window.
- Once the app is installed, you'll be taken to a Chrome page with the Google Drive app icon. To return to Drive, click the Google Drive icon.
