Dear DM, Thank you for reaching out about this product. After doing some research, you should be able to use drive apps offline. Everything you mentioned such as writing, editing, saving documents, and pdf's is possible. I hope this helps and have a great evening! Sincerely, Andy King

Works, but downloads not. I research and is not certified then the downloads don't allowed. Can you confirm this pls? Apps like Dropbox / Evernote

Yes. The Google Spreadsheet app allows you to create, edit, and save spreadsheets. However, since it is not the "real" excel, it will take a little getting used to , since some of the commands are different. I personally find it much easier to use than Microsoft's version.

You can preload maps to the device over Wi-Fi for offline use. The GPS is satellite-based and not dependent on internet access; it will accurately display your position on the previously-downloaded map even when you're offline. Using the stock Google Maps app included with the Note, you will NOT be able to perform location searches (for restaurants, hotels, etc.), get specific directions, or download additional maps while offline.

Nope. No export is possible. You can only use it like a notepad in which you can write notes temporarily. It does not provide any storage or export feature

Hey Grand - Andrew from Boxee here. The Boxee Box will work just as you hoped. You can hook the external hard drive up to the Boxee Box to access stuff 24/7 even when your PC is off. Plugging it in will also make the drive shared on your network so you can access it from your computer across the network. If you need any help getting it up and running - give me a shout, andrew@boxee.tv Best, Andrew

No sure yet. Can you buy your programs on the internet and download? Otherwise you have to buy the $80, external hard drive. Good luck.

You can do document and resumes. There are several for free in the Play store including Word and Excel. You can't use Microsoft on an Adroid device. You can get some nice Windows tablets on Amazon. I have tablets that run on each platform. I prefer Andoid over Microsoft or Apple.

With the "WD Photos" iOS app you can upload to the drive from anywhere. I'm not sure about the PC/Mac capabilities while mobile.

It's a Chromebook, so everything lives in the 'cloud'. You can use Google docs to write your essays, documents, notes, etc. There is no need for Word when everything can be saved forever in Google Drive.

Yes, you can back up the applications, but why would you want to do that if you have the original software. Even if you do back up an application like MS Office you will probably have to reinstall it. I don't think it will run from the Seagate drive. At least, that's my understanding.

I had a similar problem on Windows 7 after using a USB portable drive on a trip with my XP laptop. I plugged it into my Win7 desktop and the device was recognized, but did not come up with a drive letter. Using the control panel disk manager, I found and error message that it was offline because of some kind of a resource conflict with another drive. I was able to correct the problem by using a right click in the disk manager to put it online. I think this is a Win7 bug, not a problem with the drive.

Check he website. I think I saw some programs that you could download. But the drive works like any other so you can just use your OS backup software which works like a charm. It's really plug and play, no software needed.

Yes! You can use Google docs, gmail, google keep and much more without internet!

That is right, Deborah. I have found a veritable plethora of online programs that you can use that require no installation on your computer. Most of these programs are free. Of course, Google has a spreadsheet program built in. I haven't used it yet, but I've come to depend on its Google Docs to the point where I have finished my latest book manuscript (The Eternal Religion: Glimpses of Divine Glory)using the program. Additionally you may search thru all the 'apps' that Google supports. I find that new 'apps' are being added daily.
