| Just announced: Offline editing for your Google documents | Teresa C. | 6/28/12 11:29 AM | Hello Docs users, If you’ve been reading our blog, you already know that this morning we launched offline editing for Google documents. We’d love to hear what you think! To use offline editing, just enable offline for your Docs account (remember th |
| Re: Just announced: Offline editing for your Google documents | A grownup | 6/28/12 12:49 PM | Exciting stuff. Very interested in getting this set up. Unfortunately, I still see only "View Only" when working offline on my Chromebook. Am I doing something wrong? |
| Re: Just announced: Offline editing for your Google documents | AnaLikesLattes | 6/28/12 3:35 PM | Hi Mikkel, The issue was announced as we began rolling it out. Please check again (and make sure you have the latest version of Chrome on your computer) and you should see it now. Feel free to let me know if you have any other questions. Cheers, A |
| Re: Just announced: Offline editing for your Google documents | elizab | 6/28/12 6:16 PM | I'm using chrome on my iPad, I hoped that I'd be able to edit a doc in desktop version but still it doesn't work...continual error loop. why doesn't it work on desktop version? |
| Re: Just announced: Offline editing for your Google documents | Paul - Texas | 6/29/12 10:21 AM | When I use Google Drive offline, I can edit existing documents but the "New Document" button is grayed out. When I am editing an existing document, I can click on "File" and then "New" but all the choices are grayed out. The only NEW documents I ca |
| Re: Just announced: Offline editing for your Google documents | Felicity_BB | 6/29/12 6:52 PM | Fantastic! Offline editing was definitely on the wish list here. |
| Re: Just announced: Offline editing for your Google documents | bestbrushstroke | 6/30/12 7:47 AM | I want to edit a document, cannot find the link to allow me to edit, it's as if this .doc formatted documenet were in .pdf format. I thought it would be easier to edit the document online. |
| Re: Just announced: Offline editing for your Google documents | Felicity_BB | 7/5/12 4:44 AM | @bestbrushstroke Have you given it a bit more time? For me I noticed offline editing took a few days to roll in to my computer--this can happen with many new features. |
| Just announced: Offline editing for your Google documents | fon-guy | 7/7/12 7:02 PM | Google Docs doesn't work on an iPad or on a PC. My experience so far is unsatisfactory. |

| Re: Just announced: Offline editing for your Google documents | H2Osamurai | 7/28/12 8:14 AM | Theresa, This is fantastic and I've been using the Offline editing rather heavily on my last trip, both to create new docs and edit existing ones. I greatly enjoy using the Google Docs interface and I think this product is fantastic from a user stan |
| Re: Just announced: Offline editing for your Google documents | Felicity_BB | 7/28/12 4:14 PM | I'm enjoying offline docs too, but I'd second this request. Having an easy way to copy documents out of the offline files on your computer and into another backup folder would be an excellent benefit. Especially in case of some sort of editing conf |
| Re: Just announced: Offline editing for your Google documents | H2Osamurai | 7/29/12 8:48 AM | Felicity, While the ability to "Save" a local copy of your work is a great feature to have, I would be happy (well, for now at least) with the ability to actually sync the offline doc -- which is not happening. The docs I have created and edited off |
| Re: Just announced: Offline editing for your Google documents | Felicity_BB | 7/30/12 3:51 PM | Try posting your own question about this issue - it's the red button toward the top. You may get more attention if you start your own topic. What happens in my offline editor is that when I go offline, I can make changes in the file, and then when I |
| Re: Just announced: Offline editing for your Google documents | pian1966 | 8/6/12 8:18 AM | Hi. For some reason 1 of my documents will not sync when I go online. Even though I am connected there is a message "All changes saved offline" in the toolbar and the offline symbol to the right of the document name. Interestingly, when I copy and pa |
| Re: Just announced: Offline editing for your Google documents | Felicity_BB | 8/6/12 10:46 PM | Is this document particularly large? Something like this has happened to me, even when my documents were still nowhere near the official Docs size limits, and I had to split the document in two for it to save properly online. |
| Re: Just announced: Offline editing for your Google documents | pian1966 | 8/7/12 2:05 AM | Not particularly - its just a document of about 4500 words (no pictures). However the trouble began when I tried to paste a TIFF file directly into the document (instead of importing it using Insert). Even though I deleted the image (and eventually t |
| Re: Just announced: Offline editing for your Google documents | Felicity_BB | 8/7/12 3:04 AM | Does importing it using Insert work any better? You might also want to start your own thread about this particular issue, if you're interested in getting more answers. |
| Re: Just announced: Offline editing for your Google documents | somewhereinasia2 | 8/9/12 11:24 PM | I'm having the same problem. I spent days creating a doc for work purposes, but I cannot share it with anyone in our organization because it's stuck in offline mode. Did you figure out a way to solve this? If you began a new thread for this, please |
| Re: Just announced: Offline editing for your Google documents | Felicity_BB | 8/10/12 2:14 AM | Perhaps you could start a new thread for it too, which might get more answers. :) I think the cause of an offline document not going online is likely to be related to size/connection/browser technical limits issues, so splitting it up into smaller d |
| Re: Just announced: Offline editing for your Google documents | pian1966 | 8/13/12 1:43 AM | I have managed to "solve" my issue (work-around is more like it!). The original document still won't save to the cloud but I created a new document and copied and pasted the original contents to it (checking that it saved after each paste). I had to |
| Re: Just announced: Offline editing for your Google documents | gnde345 | 8/16/12 5:56 AM | I would like the possibility ofedit the offline files but not necessarily sync with cloud.Each when i am online, the offline document must not be to sync. Thanks Bye |

| Re: Just announced: Offline editing for your Google documents | Steven Goodale | 9/22/12 10:23 PM | I want offline doc editing to look and behave exactly like online editing, only maybe accessible through Drive with some kind of warning that they are offline and won't be saved to the cloud. As it is, I don't know how to make specific docs editabl |
