As simple and easy as this task is, we received about 10 emails over the last 2 weeks asking, “I have my users set up to use a mapped drive for their personal data stored on the network. How can I make that available to them while they are not on the network?”
Easy, open up My Computer and right-click on the mapped drive and select “Make available offline”. That’s it. Once the wizard pops up you can detail what you want the offline files to do and once you complete the wizard, it will begin the sync of the files to the local PC. You are now done. Cheers.
