The latest news and updates from the Google Drive team.
Offline updates and a quick look back at June
Friday, July 13, 2012
Summer brings fun in the sun (in our hemisphere, at least) and a bunch of updates to Google Drive. A few weeks ago at Google I/O, we
announced
a couple of highly requested features: the ability to edit Google documents offline and a
Drive app for iOS
.
When you
enable Docs offline
in Google Drive, you can create & edit Google documents and view Google spreadsheets, without being connected to the internet. Today we updated the offline experience so it looks the same as when you’re online - except it’s filtered to show just your offline docs. Here’s an extra tip: if you want to preview which files are available offline, select
More > Offline Docs
in the left navigation pane while you’re still connected to the web. This update will roll out to all Drive users over the next few days.
In the past month we’ve also made several other improvements like:
updates
to Google Apps Script including a
standalone script editor
, the ability to create richer user interfaces, options to easily store your application’s data, and support for publishing scripts to the Chrome Web Store
expanded language support in the
documents and presentations spellchecker
to include German, French and Italian
the ability to print documents, spreadsheets, and presentations to any cloud connected printer with Google Cloud Print from any browser
up to 400pt font support in documents and presentations
copying and pasting images
from your desktop into a document or presentation
an easy way to edit or open links from text by right clicking on them
