Save files Offline with Google Drive File Stream

If you are expecting to be offline and would like to have access to files while disconnected, follow the steps below.

1. Right Click on the file or folder you want to make available offline
2. Go to the sections for "Drive File Stream"
3. Select "Available Offline"
4. Allow time for it to synchronize, after which it will get a green icon indicating it is available offline.

This feature can also be handy if you are working on lots of large files such as video or photo editing, as it may improve access times.

NOTE: Files saved offline will consume hard drive space. You should only keep things offline sparingly as you may run out of space if you try sync your entire Drive.
