The first thing you need to do is to head over to Google Drive () and then click Settings > General. Users need to manually enable this feature, and fortunately, it all takes just a few clicks. Any changes made to files while offline will then sync in Drive once the user is connected again,” Google explains. With offline mode, it’s now possible to create, edit, and comment on Docs, Sheets, or Slides files. “We know it’s important for users to access and work on their files while traveling or when there’s low connectivity. When you go back online, Google takes care of the whole thing and automatically syncs documents with the ones in the cloud. If you're looking to store a Drive file/folder that's not a Google Doc, Sheet, or Slide, use the Google Drive for Desktop App ( How to Start Using Google Drive for Desktop) to sync Drive folders for offline use ( here's how).The way this feature works is as simple as it could be: when an Internet connection isn’t available, all the changes that you make to documents are saved locally. This will ensure you have an updated copy of the documents that you need. The bottom line is that you should open a copy of every document you expect to edit offline right before you depart for 'no-man's land'. I could imagine that changing based on how big your hard drive is and how many documents you're opening.
