Hi, For the most part, off-line access is only available for those items synced both to your local device and the Cloud. If you don't have access to the Internet, then you would not have access to those items only stored in the Cloud. This is slightly different in a ChromeBook or ChromeBox, as the syncing is a little different, so you can usually have access to all your content off-line, unless it accesses links etc that are not stored locally.
