locally by using the Files app on your Chromebox. To use the Files

app, select the Files icon in the apps list, or use the keyboard shortcut

<Alt> + <Shift> + <M>.

This user manual uses Google Drive and Files interchangeably when

giving instructions regarding accessing files.

Opening Microsoft Office files using Microsoft’s Office

Another option for working with Microsoft Office files is to use

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 Chromebox when there’s no

internet

The Chrome Web Store contains useful offline apps (see Installing

apps from the Chrome Web Store on page 12). 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).

Chrome OS tips and tricks - 23

Gmail Offline

icon .

The first time you use Gmail Offline you MUST be connected to the internet

to enable offline viewing.

Important

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

seen if you open the document from Google Drive on another computer

or device. The changes will only be reflected in the Google Drive online

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

access Google Drive.

24 - Chrome OS tips and tricks

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

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

You can’t open and access every type of file you have saved in

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 15.

Note

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

makes changes to the document as well (for example, if the document is

shared with someone else), the next time you are online and have Google

Drive open, your changes will merge with the other person’s changes.
