Sharing is baked into Google Drive: Up to 100 people can work on a Google Doc, Sheet or Slide at the same time. Done and done - no more Word docs in your Google Drive library. Open Settings and check the box for Convert uploaded files to Google Docs editor format.
If you'd rather convert any Word doc you add to Google Drive to the native Google Docs format, you can set that up with a couple clicks. You can edit Microsoft Word documents in Google Drive, but sometimes the formatting looks weird.
Then sign in to Google Drive, open Settings and check the box for Create, open, and edit your recent Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides files on this device while offline. You'll need to use the Chrome browser and be signed in to your Google account.įirst, install the Google Docs Offline extension for Chrome.
Google Drive lets you access your files while you're offline, and then it'll sync your changes when you get back online. Need to work during your commute or other times when you're not connected to the internet? No problem.
