Before your internet connection goes down, implement this tip so you can use Google Docs offline.

Note: you need to use the Chrome browser for this to work.

At the Google Docs homepage, click on the Menu icon.

Next, click on Settings in the menu.

Under the Offline Sync option, click Turn On.

Next, if you haven’t downloaded the Chrome Doc app to your Chrome browser, it will walk you through the process. If you already have the app, it will jump you to step two. Simply tap on the Enable Offline button.

Now all of your work will sync with your computer so you can continue to work on your docs, even when you have no internet connection.
