26 - Chrome OS tips and tricks Google Drive Important Any changes you make to a current document or any document you create while offline are saved locally on your computer and will not be seen if you open the document from Google Drive on another computer or device. The changes will only be reflected in the Google Drive online version of the document the next time you connect to the internet and access Google Drive. 1. Press the Search key on your keyboard. 2. Select All Apps (or type "Google Drive"). 3. Select the Google Drive icon. 4. Open a Google document you have already created or create one as you normally would (see Creating a new document on page 17). Notice the offline icon displays next to the file name reminding you that you are working on this document while not connected to the internet. 5. Make your desired changes. The next time you are online and have Google Drive open, your local changes will upload to Google Drive. Note If you make changes to a Google document while offline and someone else makes changes to the document as well (for example, if the document is shared with someone else), the next time you are online and have Google Drive open, your changes will merge with the other person's changes. You can't open and access every type of file you have saved in Google Drive when there is no internet connection. To enable offline access to file types other than Google documents when offline, see Enable offline access to Google Drive files on page 18.
