Really handy and a tighter UI than Safari Tab groups but the main problem is that Tab Groups are not persistent, so make sure you do a BookMark All TAbs before you exist and this will make a bookmark for each. Then right click on the tab and choose create new Tab, then you can drag and drop tabs onto this Tab Group and you can click on it to expand. That is open the Google Drive page and then all the tabs you normally use.

What is really convenient is to use Tab Groups to make sure you get this all right. That is for example if you have movies on Alaska Airlines delivers over WiFi, then you will wipe out your saved tabs! So be careful.

So if you have to have an active tab open for each document you want to be offline, you can't mark them as offline and then not worry about it. If you leave that main window open, you can access any of the offline documents, but if you do not, then you can only access those document for which you've already created a tab. If you don't do this then and if on the airplane, for instance, you accidentally hit refresh and it can't connect to the Internet then you lose all the cached data. If you do then things work as expected as long as you have the Google Drive page open before you disconnect. Turn off the WiFi Network, open up Google Drive Page in a Tab Groupįinal trick is that unlike iPadOS or iOS, this offline storage is not permanent.Īs far as I can tell, the best thing to do is to completely disable your WiFi if you want to work offline. Now be very careful about how you deal with that tab! Open up the document and then at the far right of the title of the document, you should see an icon that looks like a cloud with a check in it and if you click on it it will say document is ready for offline use.You know you are in Vivaldi by the way because this button will stay permanently in waiting mode, there is no error message. Then go to your google drive account and choose setting and then click on Make Available Offline.Then inside each Chrome Profile, first downline the Google Docs Offline extension.Apparently that API is not multi-account. The reason is that only one Google account per profile can actually store things offline. For each Google Account that you have, you have to create a Chrome Profile, this is a browser wide identity.The issue is that to make Google Chrome actually works offline takes a bunch tricks to make it work offline on a Mac:

So net, net for all but the simplest Google Slides, iPadOS is pretty useless, but the nice feature it does have is that you Make Available Offline easily which is harder with a Mac, but possible Google Chrome only support Offline with Multiple Users The Snap to Guide is awesome because it knows about other objects and makes it easy to align things. Nor does the mobile application support Snap to Grid or the more valuable Snap to Guide. Then if you click, you can make a group, but there appears to be no way to align the objects or distribute them. You long click on a single item and you get a funny box effect around it. The thing that is hard is that Google has a completely different way of doing this that is basically undiscoverable. However, there seems to be no equivalent to Select-click on MacOS that applies to all applications. If you take two fingers in specific items like lists, it will multi-select. Now that I'm traveling a lot, I find that while the iPadOS is pretty decent for editing Google Slides and so forth, there are still enough differences (like you cannot multi-select to select multiple in iPadOS for things that are not list-items, there is a two swipe gesture. iPadOS Google Slides cannot Arrange or distribute or snap The problem is that Chromium doesn't include the proprietary Google APIs that allow Google Workspace to work offline. However, I've found today that I have to use Google Chrome for one specific use case. I normally do not use Google Chrome or because it is so invasive, so I use which has search results without tracking, and Vivaldi which is the open-source Chromium with some extras.
