Offline file availability

I just bought a macbook pro which i will be using in a windows environment at work. We are running Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 which is not supported by Snow Leopard. I currently keep all my files on the server in a personal account which only I have access to. On my old laptop (PC), I used to tick certain folders for availability offline. This meant that without an internet connection I could still access these files, edit them, and when I next went to the office these would automatically update the server files with these changes. I have not yet been able to find out how I can do this on my macbook. I am planning on running bootcamp with windows 7 whilst in the office, however, some of my personal stuff will primarilly be accessed from the mac osx platform while I am at home. I may however also want to access these files at work while working in windows, make changes and have these changes be saved to the same location as the fils I will access and edit in mac osx. The reason I keep everything backed up on the work server is for security (online back up), and because I own the company, and keep the files in a folder only accessible by myself so there is no issue with privacy. I recognise that the administrator could access these files but there is nothing there I would be concerned about.
I want to avoid having a personal folder on my mac hard drive and a copy on my windows hard drive with both just synching with the server when connected to it. I am concerned with two copies this will just eats space. Any ideas?

Hi,
There isn't an Offline Files service in 2008 R2. You may need to install Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 Driver for Windows Vista (64-bit).
For more detailed information, please refer to the article below:

  • Drive with Offline Files folder not available for 2 minutes after being connected to the network.

    Hi
    We use Windows SP1 with one folder from the User HomeDirectory set to be available offline.
    The problem we encounter is that when going from Offline to Online via VPN, there is a 2 minutes delay for the drive where the offline folder is located to be available again. Other drives mapped at VPN connection time are available immediately
    after we applied KB2705233. Only the drive that contains the folder that we make available offline has this delay issue.
    I found out KB2663418 but it does not apply as we have Windows 7 SP1. However the symptoms are the same:
    < This issue occurs because the client-side caching (CSC) interface tries to reconnect to the source before the network is actually available. This behavior causes the SMB cache to enter a negative state. In this situation, the CSC interface tries to
    reconnect to the source on the next 2-minute retry interval.>
    Does one know how to force a check of the connectivity or if there is another fix available ?
    thanks in advance
    bruno

    Hi,
    Why KB2663418 didn't applied to your computer? It applied to
    Windows 7 Service Pack 1, when used with:
    Windows 7 Enterprise
    Windows 7 Professional
    Windows 7 Ultimate
    Did you use Windows 7 Home Basic or Home Premium?  However, Windows 7 Home Basic and Premium does not support Offline Files.
    Thus please try that hotfix.

  • Why do photos I moved offline in PSE11 not have a preview file available?

    I moved photos offline in PSE11 and now the photos all have a "missing" icon rather than an "offline" icon.  If I try to use them in a slideshow it says they are missing.  I know I can connect the hard drive they are on, but I used to be able to do this without connecting the hard drive.  I only connect if I wanted to edit.  I recently upgraded to photoshop elements 11 (prior was pse4!!)
    thank you for any assistance you can offer.  I can not reconnect the files, as when I connect the hard drive it says no files are misssing. 

    Mytaxsite says exactly the same thing as Andromeda. You say yourself that you have moved the pictures to the external drive. Once they are moved it's obvious you can't access them from the internal drive.
    There are two ways to 'move' the pictures : either from the explorer, outside PSE, or from the organizer. If you move your pictures using the organizer move menu, you ask the organizer to move the pictures, which it does, but it updates the new location at the same time. You have no 'missing' files to reconnect.
    If you move outside of the Organizer, the new location is not updated and the paths recorded for each file in the catalog are wrong. In that case, all your files are 'missing' and the organizer can't find and open them. You have to 'reconnect' them.
    "You may not know but PSE's organizer DOES NOT COPY OR MOVE FILES from its original location.  All it does is create the appropriate links to make these files available."
    That's what is important. The organizer does not copy or move files on its own account, it does so if you specifically ask it to do so.
    In other softwares, files are often duplicated into a location specific (often hidden and not accessible) to that software, but that's not the case with the organizer (same with Lightroom).
    The organizer stores the path and many data present in your pictures files metadata, date, camera etc.
    And what is important and may answer part of your original question, it creates and stores a thumbnail of your pictures to enable you to browse your catalog even if the media is offline.
    If you don't see the thumbnails, it's because they have not yet been created (it takes some time to do the job in the background).
    Connect your external 'offline' media, select the files with missing thumbnails, and choose 'update thumbnail' from the contextual (right click) menu. That should restore your thumbnails and make them available even when the media is offline.

  • Windows 7 Offline files behaviour - automatically making 'shortcutted' files available

    I am a sysadmin with a few Windows 7 Professional machines in our network.
    The current setup for our users is folder-redirection, with offline files enabled for users with laptops (some of which are said Win7 users).
    This works fine, just, any shortcut files that are in the users profile (that are made available offline) make the target of the shortcut available offline aswell. Though I see the benefit of this, it is not a behaviour we want.
    For example if user 'dave' has a shortcut on \\server1\users\dave\desktop, that points to \\server2\files\shortcut_target.doc (i.e. a directory we don't want to have offline file behaviour with) - it will make both files available offline.
    I'm positive it is related to shortcuts, as the files are always shortcutted somewhere in the users profile and the majority of these files come from word's recent documents folder, and other similar folders for different program.
    If theres anyway to change this behaviour please let me know, even if it is just a registry edit.
    Thanks Dan

    Hi,
    “For example if user 'dave' has a shortcut on
    \\server1\users\dave\desktop, that points to
    \\server2\files\shortcut_target.doc (i.e. a
    directory we don't want to have offline file behaviour with) - it will make both files available offline.”
    Based on my knowledge, Windows only synchronous the shortcut in this offline folder. What do you mean “it will make both files available offline.”
    For further research, I suggest you may enable sync log and try to repro this problem. Then move to Event Viewer -> Applications and Service Logs ->
    Microsoft -> Windows -> OfflineFiles, right click SyncLog and chose “Save all event as…” to export these event log.  Here is my e-mail:
    [email protected].  You could contact me, then
    I would assist you for this problem.
    Please refer following to enable SyncLog:
    How to enable the "SyncLog Channel"
    ===========================================
    Offline Files defines four event channels through the Windows Event Viewer.
    The channels are listed under the following hierarchy in the left-most pane of the viewer,
    Event Viewer -> Applications and Service Logs -> Microsoft -> Windows -> OfflineFiles
    If you see only one channel in the event viewer it will be the "Operational" channel. The remaining channels are known as Analytic or Debug
    channels. The Windows Event Viewer does not display these additional channels by default. They must first be enabled.
    To enable Analytic and Debug logs, highlight the "OfflineFiles" entry in the Event Viewer left pane. Select the "View" menu and check the
    option titled "Show Analytic and Debug Logs".
    While four channels are defined, only two are currently in use in Windows 7.
    SyncLog Channel
    ================
    This channel is of the "Analytic" type as defined by the Windows Event viewer. Because this is an "Analytic" channel, you must enable the
    channel before events are generated to the associated log. To enable this channel, right click on the "SyncLog" entry in the left pane of the Event Viewer. Select the "Enable Log"
    option.
    This may also be configured using the channel’s Properties page, also accessible through the Event Viewer. When you no longer want
    to collect SyncLog events, disable the channel using the same method ("Disable Log" option).
    The purpose of this channel is to generate events specific to synchronization activities within the Offline Files service.
    This may be helpful when questions arise about why a particular item is or is not being synchronized or questions about why a particular
    sync operation is failing.

  • Offline Files, not available offline after server 2008 R2 upgrade

    I have a few users on Windows 7 Enterprise. They have their H (home) drive "Always Available Offline". If we check the offline files folder they show up. If the user shuts down, takes their laptop off the network, starts up and logs back in, the
    offline copy of the H: does not show up like it did before.   If I unc into the path where the H is, I can get to it or if I run the log in script. (note: only the files that had Always available offline show up). This tells me the files sync and wre
    copied to the client machine, it's just not "mapping" the offline drive for the user like it use to. 
    I've gone as far as to completely wipe one of the laptops (with users permission of course) and re-install everything, all updates and it still happens. I am begging to think it is something with the servers but the Sys admin doesn't think so. I am at loss
    of what to try next. 

    Glad to hear it is solved, thanks for sharing your solution and experience here.

  • How do I prevent offline files from syncing accross WAN

    I have multiple sites connected via smaller WAN links (1.5 meg).  I am trying to prevent any Offline Folder Syncing across the WAN. 
    When users travel to other sites there is an issue where their laptop wants to sync their MyDocs folder across the WAN.  Since the user has several Gig of Data at the remote site this could take all day and can consumes all of our bandwidth between
    the sites.  This doesn't happen unless the users have their MyDocs folder set to 'make available for Offline Use'. 
    The users MyDocs folder is automatically redirected to a network file server at the users main location.
    I have tried setting the Network Transparency to 64 ms (64) but that doesn't seem to help.  Normal latency between sites (based off of a ping) is 75-100 ms (unless under heavy load).
    Do you have any suggestions or recommendations?  I tried looking at the below technote but I couldn't seem to get a setting that made this issue go away.
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff633429(v=ws.10).aspx#BKMK_EnablingTransparentCaching
    Any help you can offer will greatly be appreciated.
    Thank you

    Hi,
    The article you looking at is not for preventing the offline file sync. So what's your requirement? If you don't want the offline file sync, just disable the it in the sync center:
    1. Open the Control Panel, click on the Sync Center icon.
    2. In the left pane, click on the Manage offline files link.
    3. Click on the Disable offline files button.
    4. Click on OK and restart the computer(see screenshot below).
    If you want to sync the offline file, the guide you refer is the optimal solution for you. Since your file is too big. However, I suggest you sync it completely if you really need it when slow network or disconnection from the Server. It won't copy
    the whole file every time. It just sync the new version of the file when it checked the file has be changed.

  • Win 7 Offline Files and Captivate

    We save files to "My Documents" so that we can use Windows Sync to enable offline files (portability and server backup). Adobe products don't like pointing to network locations for output (published files and such). If I publish to a sync'd folder, it looks like a network file and Adobe products seem to hesitate or complain about this. I can point published files to the hard drive (C: for instance) but I lose the functionality of offline files (sync, backup). I have "aliased" a drive (for instance the L: drive) which Captivate thinks is a local drive (and not a network drive) and that works pretty well. The "aliased" drive points to the sync'd drive (read: networked drive).
    Any suggestions for more suitable implementations are greatly appreciated. Thank you.
    Michael

    Hi,
    Do you configure “Always available offline” on the clients? If so, disable it to check if the issue still exists. The Offline Files feature must be enabled on the client computer for files and programs to be automatically cached. Additionally, the
    Optimized for performance option does not have any effect on client computers using Windows Vista or newer.
    For more detailed information, please refer to the articles below:

  • FIles stuck in offline files

    I have offline files enabled. I have transparent caching enabled as well, however the network latency is not high enough to trigger transparent caching. I have the "All files and programs that users open from the share are automatically available offline"
    option enabled on the share that the user home drives are stored on. This works great for laptops because documents that users open then stay with them even when they are offline, available on a flight etc. The changes too sync back as designed, and I have
    group policy configured to do a background sync every 5 minutes.
    However, I am running into this issue with quite a few users: For some files, the computer retrieves an old copy from the cache, even though the version on the network has changed and even though the network is reachable. If the version
    on the network is accessed from another network location, this shows a later time stamp on the file as well as updated content as compared to accessing the same file from the laptop in question. Because of this issue, I am afraid I might have the reverse issue
    as well - where files changed / created on the laptop may not make it back to the network and cause data loss if the laptop is lost / rebuilt.
    I would hate to turn off the offline files, as our users have become accustomed to the facility they provide of not having to choose which files to make available. I have the post SP1 enterprise rollup for Windows 7 installed, plus current on the patches.
    Is there some hotfix / setting I am missing / need to configure?
    thanks and regards,
    -Ravi

    Hi,
    Have you checked Event Log, generally speaking, it should record this events if there is any problem when offline file Syncs.
    In addition, you metioned just a few user encounter this problem, is there any difference between these computer?
    I would make more research about this issue, If there is any progress about this issue, I would post back.

  • Folder Redirection and Offline Files

    I have Users documents and Favorites redirected using GPO Folder redirection. So everyone has their data redirected to the server. With the feature Always available offline. Then My raid crashed and that Drive become offline. after 24 HRS everyone got
    their Local copy of their files back. 
    Now Why did it take around that much time. The server that used to host the Files was down for 2-3 hrs. Later on I had the server up without the Raid.
    Also 2 users reported that they can see their files but its greyed out with an x and can't access it. Found out they had Always available Offline unchecked . Not sure how did that happened.
    So now I am going to add a new server with the same name and will follow direction to create the Folder and share it according
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/274443/en-us
    Q 1   What will happen when that Shared folder comes online where user used to redirected their files and now its empty. will all the local files get redirected
    Q 2   If it doesn't work how can I bring users local copy available right away with out waiting for so long. Does it have any thing to do with the server being offline or online ?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    >>
    Q 1  
    What will happen when that Shared folder comes online where user used to redirected their files and now its empty. will all the local files get redirected
    Does this mean that what will happen after we create a new share path with the same path name as the previous failed one? If it’s this case, based on my knowledge, local files
    won’t get redirected, for they are just caches and the real files are on the failed share path.
    >>If it doesn't work how can I bring users local copy available right away with out waiting for so long. Does it have any thing to do with the server being offline
    or online ?
    As far as I know, we need to access the original share path and sync our offline files with it.

  • Offline Files (Background) Sync makes File Explorer and other programs responding slow

    Hi TechNet,
    I have a problem with Offline Files and
    especially with VPN users.
    For VPN users, the slow-link
    policy is activated with a background
    sync interval of one hour. But, when Offline Files is syncing, their File Explorer is hanging (not responding) by creating new files/folders, deleting files/folder, or rename files/folders. This happens only in their (redirected)UserData
    folder or with other DFS shares which are cached locally. In other programs (Outlook or Office 2010) when they save data in the UserData folder exactly the same things happens (not responding).
    This problem occurs in both the
    internal network and via VPN, so bandwidth is
    not the problem. When the sync is finished, everything is working fine again.
    I've tested:
    - Offline mode with scheduled background sync: problem occurs
    - Online mode with manual sync: problem occurs
    - Rebuild offline cache database: no effect
    - Tested with fresh Windows 8(.1) installations and user profiles: problem occurs
    - Monitoring SMB traffic with WireShark: no result
    - Montoring Windows 8(.1) clients with procmon: no result
    - Tested with full DFS paths: problem occurs
    - Disable IPv6: problem occurs
    - Disable Windows Search: problem occurs
    - Browsing in the Offline Files folder (Sync Center -> Manage Offline Files -> View Offline Files) is very slow (with +- 200 files). This occurs also when Offline Files is not syncing.
    Does anyone have an idea how I can solve this problem?
    Thanks,
    Bas

      Hello Steven,
      First, sorry for the late response, I have tested a few things for you:
    Offline mode with background sync over a VPN connection: During scheduled sync File Explorer hangs. When bypass the cache by using a UNC path (State: Online) there is also a delay, but this is caused by bandwidth.
    Online Mode with Manual Sync over a LAN connection: During sync File Explorer hangs in (redirected)UserData Folders (They are always available offline, maybe this is a problem?). With UNC paths, there is no delay…
    The first folder/file is created slowly, but the second is fast.
    It's like csc
    still
    must initialize
    the cache…or something…
    I m  I made some
    print screens, but I can not upload them because my account is not verified.......

  • File server migration with Offline files involved

    Hi,
    We are planning a file server migration in following weeks.
    This morning, our customer came with the good old "Ow, and I just thought about something else"
    Here's the scenario :
    -They are using 1 network drive
    -That network drive is made offline available for all laptop users
    -Those users are spread out in several country's. No VPN connection
    -They are working for months on their offline network drive, right in the middle of the wood, no internet connection, it was already short for them to find power supply for their laptop ...
    ...nevermind
    -The day they come back to the office, the file server to which points the network drives will be offline.
    Now the 1 Million question : What happens with their "dirty" files ?
    yep exactly. those they changed 6 months ago, have no clue about if you ask them but certainly will the day I will clear the damn cache.
    My first analysis :
    -The new file server will have another name, no alias or re-using the old name is possible (the customer don't want to)
    -I can't tell to those laptops "hey for that offline cache, please use this new network drive"
    So :
    >> Those users have to identify manually files they changed while being offline, copy them locally on their machine and work that way the time they come back to the main office.
    >> When they finally show up, clear the cache, offline the new network drive and replace file copied locally
    >> If no internet connexion available in the branch office, let them work locally, it's still better than this hybrid-non-sense 6month offline folder "solution". If internet connexion is mainly available remotely, propose some Citrix/View/RDS
    Setup which is, for me, a more professional looking solution
    Someone has another (better?) idea/solution ?

    Hi, 
    I suggest you ask users to collect their laptop to internet, then start offline files synchronization on the old file server. After that, use
    Robocopy to copy the date from the old server to the new server. As the offline files cache cannot be recognized by the new file server, so we need to synchronize data first.
    If the older server cannot be enabled, as you mentioned, you might need to ask users to copy their changed files to the new file servers.

  • Provision offline files in Windows 8.x

    Hi there,
    I stumbled across a problem. I want to make certain folders offline available for all users. For this I am using the Group Policy setting "Administratively assigned offline files" under "Administrative Templates / Network / Offline Files". Unfortunately,
    both, the user part setting and the computer part setting, do not work.
    All paths are specified as UNC paths in the "name" column of the provided table in the Group Policy Editor.
    Any suggestions, how to get this working?
    ----------------------- Greetings from Germany, Martin

    Hi,
    I made a test in our testing enviroment. It works fine when enable this policy. Both my test account could access Offline Files.
    Therefore, please check your group policy setting. Make sure sharing folder path correct.

  • "Windows could not start the offline files service on local computer. Error 3: The system cannot find the path specified"

    Using Windows 8.1 Pro on Toshiba Satellite i7 Laptop with 8Gb Ram
    After upgrade from Windows 8 Pro to 8.1 Pro, the Offline Files/CSC service refuses to start and gives the error message:
    "Windows could not start the offline files service on local computer. Error 3: The system cannot find the path specified"
    Before the upgrade, offline files worked fine... how do I re-enable offline files?

      I had a similar issue -  couldn't make any files available offline.
    I found that the offline folder service would not start
    This was because the CSC permission were totally screwed.  I had to take ownership of each folder and file, one by one, then grant everyone full access.
    then delete the full contents of the CSC folder
    format the CSC database using the registry fix then reboot
    in control panel, disable the offline files,  reboot, then re-enable.  and now its working :)
    2hrs to resolve this, with grateful thanks to this thread and some others.

    If you refer to "offline files" as downloaded websites you may use it quite like in Windows by choose "save as" for the site. It creates a folder and a html file to open in a browser.
    Or did I misunderstood your question?
    Lupunus
    You did, Offline Files (in windows) refers to files stored on a network drive that are mirrored to your local machine (for offline use) and then synchronized back to the network drive when you reconnect.

Maybe you are looking for
