Hi Marcel,
Offline Folders works okay for users with limited amounts of files on
laptops. For workstations with network home directories, it's a waste
of time unless your network goes down a lot.
Which settings are you making in GP? If the user "does it themselves",
does it work?
I'm leery of turning off OF without verifying first that the user data
is secure. I've had too many instances where it was turned off, all the
cached files were removed, and for some reason the user was left with
ALL their files removed. So now I take the time to make sure their data
is backed up, then remove OF.
