There are some caveats, as a Google official noted when I checked in today to verify the offline suspension. Users of Google’s Gmail and Calendar won’t have their offline access removed. But the rest of the suite is losing offline access capabilities. From a Google spokesperson:
“On April 12 when we launched the new Docs editors, we also announced that we’d be temporarily discontinuing support for Google Docs offline access beginning today. There are a small number of users that use offline Docs and we are committed to bringing back improved offline support for them in the future, taking advantage of new technologies like HTML5 and advancements in modern browsers, but we don’t have a specific date to share at this time.
“In the meantime, users can export files to their computer to access them offline or use a document management application from Syncplicity or Memeo.”
