How to configure offline files...

[Guest Victoria@DIG]

Hello:

 

I'm a new laptop user and therefore new to being able to work offline. I

think I may not understand the process. I'd like to be able to have specific

folders that are located within MyDocuments (which is located on the network)

available offline. However, when I set MyDocuments to be available offline,

all subfolders are then set for offline usage. I tried selecting the

specific folders, clicking on File, Make folder available offline to uncheck,

but it is checked and grayed out.

 

Also, it seems that Access files cannot be made available offline as I

receive an error when I try synchronizing. Is this correct?

 

Example of Folder Set Up--

 

Network Drive (available Offline)

My Documents (available Offline)

Access (available offline, want it changed to NOT available offline)

MyPictures (available offline, want it changed to NOT available

offline)

 

Using Windows XP.

 

Thank you.

Hi Victoria,

 

If you already have My Documents (which is on a network drive) set as an

OL folder, that's why the subfolders are grayed out. Stop all OL folder

syncing, then start over selecting only the network folders you want to

use as OL folders, not the entire MD folder. It will then place copies

of the network folders on your laptop to be available offline.
