Use Gmail, Calendar and Docs without an Internet connection

Today Google has (re)unveiled offline access for Gmail, Calendar and (coming soon) Docs (check out the image in this post for a glimpse of the Gmail app.) This means that you can use these products without an Internet connection.

To use the offline versions of these popular Google products, you’ll need four things:

  1. Google Chrome – Google’s free and awesome web browser. Get it here.
  2. Offline Gmail Chrome app – a special app that syncs Gmail to your computer for offline use. Get it here.
  3. Google Calendar Chrome app – this app will sync your Google Calendar entries to your computer for offline use. Get it here.
  4. Offline Docs Chrome app – this app isn’t out yet but, when it is, we’ll update with a link to it. It should be available within a week.
