Client-side Caching allows server files to be designated for offline work so that a copy of the files is cached on the client computer.

When the client is offline, the files are available from the locally cached copy, but are accessed in exactly the same way as if they were stored on the server. i.e. UNC paths or mapped drives are accessible.

When the client comes back online, the files are synchronized.

Client-side Caching is enabled in the following Folder Options dialog from the Explorer Tools menu.

Individual files and folders can be designated for offline work or pinned into the cache. Right-clicking a network folder will have the option Make Available Offline. A wizard will start and end with the following confirmation dialog.

Automatic caching is an alternative to pinning. The quantity of space allocated to the automatic caching is shown in the above dialog. Automatic caching does not guarantee that a particular file will be available.

Caching can be configured on the server side as shown in the following dialog.

Synchronization is the process that ensures that the local files and the server files are identical. Use the Synchronization Settings dialog to configured synchronization to occur
