Prankmonkey, Your question is a tad confusing, but let me give it a shot... Yes, by default, if you set folder redirection, offline file/synchronization occurs as well. If you have Offline Files enabled, synchronization will occur when a user logs off/shuts down their laptop and that places (yes) a copy of folders & files locally on their system. Once re-connected to the network, synchronization will reoccur and any file/folder modifications made locally will be updated on the network. So yes, the only way the network file would get updated is for the user to reconnect to the network. Shane M.

It is my understanding that once folder redirection is enabled then those folders that are redirected are set to synchronize. If we turn off offline files how does folder redirection work if the user is offline? In other words, if they are not connected to the network, yet we have offline files enabled do the files simply stay on the local system and never get synchronised or ....? *********************** You can unsubscribe from gptalk by sending email to gptalk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field OR by logging into the freelists.org Web interface.
