Description

You can access your documents in Drive wherever you go—on your computer, phone, or tablet. When you finish making your changes, Drive automatically syncs the latest changes. So if you open the same document from another device, all the changes you made appear.

1. Check your sync status

On the web

When you see Upload complete, your files have uploaded successfully and can be accessed in any browser or device that has Drive installed.

2. Access your files from any device

After your files sync, you can access them from any browser or device.

3. Access your files offline

Access your files offline

Internet outages and long plane rides shouldn’t prevent you from working in Drive.

Set up offline access so that the next time you don’t have internet access, you can view your documents, shuffle folders around, and edit files stored in Drive.

Important: To make sure other people can’t see your files, set up offline access on devices that only belong to you.
