Within the Offline section of Google Drive, tap the + button and select the type of file you want to create (the options are folders, scans, Docs, Sheets, or Slides) and do your work. Google Drive on the web has long let you work on Docs, Sheets, and Slides even when there's no connection.A new G Suite beta expands offline storage to PDFs, Office documents, and other non.

It has been speculated that enabling the option will probably delete the all documents currently downloaded through Drive.

Google Drive is finally getting a feature that most users have been hoping to get since months – encrypting individual files. Although there's no public announcement or confirmation, a recent teardown by XDA Developers has hinted this feature to be coming soon. It has been found in the codes of Google Drive app version 2.20.441.06.40 that the platform will let you encrypt Drive files saved on-device. It will also let you download and open encrypted files in Drive.

Open the Google Drive app and go to the file you want to access offline. Tap on the 3-dot menu next to the file. Tap on the slider marked Available Offline. To view the files offline, go to Google. Google Drive, when accessed on a desktop/laptop computer through the Chrome browser, can allow you to access files even if you don't have an internet connection. If you want to access files offline from multiple computers, set up access on each, but be sure to only set up offline access on a personal computer, not on shared computers.

Where Are Google Drive Offline Files Stored

One of the developers, Alessandro Paluzzi, also tweeted the screenshots of the feature in action. From the images, it can be deciphered that the encryption feature could come as a toggle button inside the Settings of the app. Once the feature is enabled, the files that are downloaded to the device will appear with a small lock icon next to the one that indicates its availability offline.
