Hi,
We have a number of users here who work remotely on their laptops. As a
result each has offline files enabled and on the whole this works well.
However recently we have hit a problem with one particular users laptop not
showing all offline files.
Each user has their own personal "H" drive which is setup to synchronise so
it is available offline. One particular user also has a lot of data in a
shared network folder that they change regularly, along with other static
network users. As he needs access to a lot of this information offline too,
he calls us the day before he is going away so we can copy specific folders
from this network share into a folder within his syncronised "H" drive. We do
this on our server and not on his laptop as it is much quicker this way.
However, when this is completed and the user logs off, the synchronisation
process completes but these files are not available when the user logs back
onto his laptop offline?!
Is there any explanation for this? Is it because we are copying these files
from a network share into the users "H" drive directly from the server? Is it
because they are copied from a network share into his "H" drive and therefore
there are issues with permissions?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks
