Google Drive – How to Work on Docs Offline

google docsgoogle-driveoffline

I'm going to be in an area with shotty internet connection. I would like to be working on a Google Drive doc but know it usually doesn't let you edit if it's not connected to the internet. Is there a way around this? I will be the only person working on it and it's not shared. If relevant I'm using Windows on a laptop with Firefox.

I am afraid you need to switch (just for editing your docs) to Google Chrome.

As per the documentation found here :

"Offline access is only available in the Google Chrome browser."

Once on Chrome, under the corresponding settings, you can enable offline editing per file:
per file

OR for all files: enter image description here
