Word provided that stability, as it was readable through Docs, but now I feel a bit hooped. But really I'd rather just find an effective way to keep Google Docs as a word processor without having to be constantly tethered to the internet at all times. Pages, from what I can tell, is subject to Apple's interference on a regular basis. I'm open to alternatives, with an emphasis on compatibility.

This doesn't really foster a good work flow. There is a slightly clunky way around this that I haven't quite figured out, whereby I copy a made-online google doc file, and then type offline into the copy, but then google drive gets very confused and either reads it as the original file when opened in Chrome, or after a delay, uploads the retitled copy file. My ultimate goal is to be able to create a doc file while offline, add text, and then have it sync next time I'm online again. Desktop Google Drive apps that once existed for OS now no longer exist. There is a dearth of information about how to do this, and nearly all of it is outdated. To access the Google Cloud APIs using a supported programming language, you can download the Cloud Client Libraries. For a list of gcloud CLI features, see All features. The Google Cloud CLI includes the gcloud, gsutil and bq command-line tools. I deeply dislike the idea of paying Microsoft $10/mo for their product, and it would be idea for for me to use Google Docs as a replacement. This page contains instructions for choosing and maintaining a Google Cloud CLI installation.

Now that I've graduated, my student subscription to Microsoft Office has been cut off by my university.
