It's the #1 reason why I don't use Google docs. LibreOffice is on my laptop, desktop, and tablet hard drives. My new tablet doesn't have a micro-ssd port which annoys me but I load things to the cloud and then download to the tablet's hard drive anything I expect to need every couple of months.

There are very few areas in this country with no wifi access. If you lose power, you can tether to your phone. Eventually, your device and phone will need to be recharged, so if you lose power longer than that, you aren't going to be working anyway.
FWIW. The original post was about using MS on a PC. Most will say laptop or something similar, reserving PC for desktop MS computers. So a loss of power would knock the poster off anyway.
It might be safe to say that there are no areas in this country, or maybe even above ground/water, in the world with Starlink. It has thousands of satellites up and they are launching about 100 per month. It has been available in Ukraine since shortly after the invasion.
You can work locally if
you want to, but many people actually benefit from sharing access to documents and collaboration.
