Google has recently approved users offline access to Gmail, Google Docs, and Google Calendar. After testing the feature in-house, Google has met the summer deadline to make the company’s cloud-computing vision even more practical.

“Offline Gmail lets people read and write messages, respond to others’ messages, apply labels and stars, and archive messages,” said Alex Gawley, a Google senior product manager, according to CNET News. “Of course, none of the actions taken offline do anything outside a person’s computer until a network connection is established and the software synchronizes with Google servers again.”

The Gmail offline app can be installed from the Chrome Web store, and the Calendar and Docs can be activated by simply clicking the gear icon at the top right corner of the web app and selecting the offline access option.
