Google Docs can be used offline if you install the Chrome add on. Moreover, I can upload local documents to Google Drive and work with them in Google Docs.

Now suppose that I am offline and I have a local document in my laptop.

Can I get it open on Google Docs (while being offline)?

Open local files and convert them to Google Docs editors format it's not supported.

From Use Google Drive files offline

If you aren't connected to a Wi-Fi or mobile network, you can still view and edit files, including:

  • Google Docs
  • Google Sheets
  • Google Slides

Google Docs only supports offline access after you've enabled it on your Google Drive account; and it's only supported with the Google Docs Offline extension in the Google Chrome browser.

See https://support.google.com/drive/answer/2375012?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&hl=en for information about enabling and setting up offline access.
