Access your files
Access your files
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.
3. 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.
