Offline Mode on Google Docs

April 26th, 2008 · 5 Comments · google

Okay, is it new features week on Google Docs …. may be, because they are rolling out features one after the other. Here is the latest: You can view your presentations and spreadsheets etc offline too.

You won’t need to worry about an unreliable internet connection as you walk up to the front of the room to give your next presentation. Just click on your Google Docs desktop icon and know that your presentations and spreadsheets will be stored on your computer, at your fingertips.

Well, thats something useful for me. Not because my connection is unreliable, but because it is little costly at the moment. ( I am using Wireless connection : “Plug 2 Surf” from Tata Indiacom. ) So, when I am working with my google docs, I can save my free hours.

We still only support English language access, and Google Apps users shouldn’t expect to see offline Docs unless their domain admins have opted in to getting this new feature

Thanks, I am okay with “English Only” part. But I said thanks because I just started using Google Apps that will be great to have this feature here on my website too. So, Offlineblog.net can really go Offline !! ( I will post my Google Apps experience as soon as possible. )

    I’ve been waiting to get this feature in my Google Docs too. They haven’t given me this option till now. :( But it’s damn cool. Would love to try it out.
