There exists a fundamental flaw in the way online Office Systems work, and that is the requirement of a Internet connection to use the online Office Suite. With the absence of Internet connection you just can’t create documents and edit, but that is all set to change with Zoho’s announcement of the addition of Offline Feature into Zoho Office Suite.

To use Zoho Writer in offline mode, just install Google Gears and restart your web browser. Then login to your Zoho account and click the link at the top that says “Go Offline.”

Google Gears browser extension is available for both Internet Explorer and Firefox.

Once you click the Go Offline link in Zoho, your browser will download all the documents you have saved on Zoho for offline editing. You can also create new documents, presentations, spreadsheets while you are offline. Once you are done with all the editing of documents, just click the Go Online button and everything will be synced back to your online Zoho document.

Zoho the Online Office System has developed an offline version of Zoho Writer that allows you to read your stored documents while you are offline. Right Now it is only read only which means you will not be able to edit the videos while you are offline.

Zoho’s decision to go offline would mean a lot more people finally moving onto web office. Because reading and editing documents offline is the single best asset which Office Software on the desktop have. Also Interesting to note is that Zoho is gone online using google gears much before Google could use it for Google Docs and Spreadsheets.

Here is a small demo video of the capabilities of Zoho Writer Offline

What do you think about this feature of Zoho, will this feature give tough competition to the other services ?
