You'll need to set up offline access in Chrome (to sync your files) and install Google Drive for Mac/PC (in order to view files offline) while you have internet access. If you want to access files offline from multiple computers, set up access on each, but be sure to only set up offline access on a personal computer, not on shared computers. Google Drive, when accessed on a desktop/laptop computer through the Chrome browser, can allow you to access files even if you don't have an internet connection.

And, if you make a file available when offline, you can access it even when your device isn't connected to WiFi or a network connection. The Google Drive App (for iPhone/iPad and Android) allows you to access (view, share, star, rename files also edit Google Documents) Google Drive files from your mobile device.

Follow the directions below for setting up Mobile Devices and your Computer so you're prepared. Once you regain internet access, any offline edits will be synced. Keep in mind that if you make edits while offline, collaborators will not see your edits and any edits collaborators who are online make will supersede your changes. You can use many Google Apps features offline, but only if you first set them up while you have internet access.
