#Workspace #Drive
Google Drive on desktop finally get offline mode
So Google Drive on mobile supported offline mode for quite a while, but on desktop this is not quite the case. Finally, Google is rolling out the ability to open files without the need of having internet connection.
You will need the Google Drive desktop app installed on your computer in order to have this functionality. You will see the toggle "Available offline" for any files you right-click on. Non-Google files (PDF, Office files, images...) will need to be open with apps that you have installed on your computer.
On Chrome OS, you can already do it by going to the Files app and select files you want to make available during offline. (Google Workspace Blog)

Chrome Tab Groups on Android could possibly follow suit desktop behaviour
Tab groups sure it a useful feature, but not in every situation, or maybe some people don't like it too. For now on Android, when you open a new link in a new tab, it will default to open tab in the same group. This could change in the future.
Currently in Chrome Beta 94, there is an experiment that the behaviour change to open link in a new tab (depend on sites) without grouping it. When holding down links, you will get a new option named "Open in new tab", which open the tab without grouping it too. (9To5Google)

Notes:
• If you just installed it, follow these instructions to get the new behaviour:
Launch > Keep it open for at least 5 mins > Quit then relaunch

Doodle Champion Island Games come to an end as Paralympic closing
It cool to see that Google celebrates Olympics in such way, by creating mini-games and let everyone have fun too. Things always to come an end and since it the last day of Paralympics on 5 Sep, Champion Island Games is ending too.
Google quoted: "Thanks to all the players around the world that came together to compete in the Doodle Champion Island Games and made HISS-tory in the process!"
There might be more stuff coming in upcoming Olympics game events, as Google themselves tipped: "Who knows what adventure awaits Lucky next? Only time will tell..."

Thanks for 100 members!
Took us approximate 45 days 16 hours to reach our first major milestone, thanks everyone. 100 people is a lot (a normal bus couldn't even fit this much people).
Besides providing English only content about Google Pixel, we cover stuff that are related to Google too. Google Apps update, Doodle, Workspace, etc.
Might open discussion group soon in a few weeks time, stay tuned (literally anxious now when I could see some well known people joining in, damn XD).
Anyway thanks for joining since you find it valuable, share it out to more people that are interested in it so they will find it useful & helpful :)
Fun fact: Done the milestone 40 minutes ago.
