android - no cached version available for offline mode

Question

At office, I am behind a proxy. The internet access is restricted.

So I performed a gradle sync at home and copied the folder ".gradle" present at C:Usersusername.gradle from my home PC to the same location on my office PC.

Now on my office PC, I set gradle in Android Studio to "Work Offline" but still whenever I try to perform a gradle sync, I get an error stating

Error: Could not download google-services.jar (com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0): No cached version available for offline mode

However on digging through the ".gradle" folder I was able to locate the google-service.jar file at

C:Usersusername.gradlecachesmodules-2files-2.1com.google.gmsgoogle-services3.0.032b833222c886ecfb37d79b1a05ce1eddb702db1

I am not sure how to proceed. Please help.

I had to dig for this a long time in the 2019.2 version. This option has moved in the UI. It is now in the toolbar of the gradle tools:
