If you're viewing documents through the Chrome OS which functions as a browser, then haven't you got the same security issues as the Chrome browser under Android/W8/OS X or IE under W8: Direct manipulation of the entire file tree through a UL/DL-dependent application? Technically, you can turn off wifi and open a local document, but aren't you still doing so with a browser as opposed to a (reasonably) wifi-independent application for reading or editing?
