Once you are connected to a Wi-Fi connection the files gets updated automatically. Alternatively you can update the file by opening that file or by clicking ‘Update†from the offline section of the app.

Currently you can only view files offline with this android app but you canâ€t edit them, editing offline would have been nice, but we can expect this feature in the near future. Files supported to make offline are Google documents, Google spreadsheets, Google presentations, uploaded images and .pdf files.
