Microsoft’s own free web-based Office Online tools. You can

download the Word Online, Excel Online, and PowerPoint Online

apps from the Chrome Web Store or Google Play Store (you’ll need to

create a Microsoft account if you don’t already have one). Then, you

can login and create files or upload files you have already created and

edit them.

How to use your Chromebase when there’s no

internet

The Chrome Web Store contains useful offline apps. For more

information see Installing apps from the Chrome Web Store on

page 14. You’re able to filter your app search by selecting the Runs

Offline checkbox. For those times you don’t have an internet

connection, these apps help you stay productive and entertained. A

few of the pre-installed options are described below.

Note

Office Online programs save files you create exclusively to Microsoft’s own

OneDrive cloud storage. Though you can download a file you create and then

move it to Google Drive or a removable storage device, you cannot save it

directly to those locations. Also, to work on a file you’ve already created, you

must first upload it to OneDrive by selecting Open from OneDrive from

within whichever Office Online product you are using (you can install the

OneDrive app from the Chrome Web Store as well).

24 - Chrome OS tips and tricks

Gmail Offline

1. Press the Search key on your keyboard or select the Launcher

icon .

Important

Any changes you make to a current document or any document you

version of the document the next time you connect to the internet and

Chrome OS tips and tricks - 25

5. Make your desired changes. The next time you are online and have

Google Drive open, your local changes will upload to Google Drive.

Google Drive when there is no internet connection. To enable offline

access to file types other than Google documents when offline, see

Enable offline access to Google Drive files on page 17.

Note

If you make changes to a Google document while offline and someone else
