Well, if you write a VC for it can't you turn it on and off somehow...
I bet you could even write a hook into WI to turn it off via
checkbox.... And if it was written via the login process then it
could be done in the background... so not to slowdown the perception of
performance... or it could be a simple sript the is run as a published
app that copies the contents for you..... using something as simple as
an xcopy or advanced as a GUI'ed app....
But then I'm so busy it would be hard for me to write it now but it
would be fun... I tell you that much.... But your right.. it would be
slow as the file VC is slooooowwwww...... but MPS4.0 will fix that, I
hear.... ;)

I would not want it connect directly to the logon process as on Citrix
that is slow enough. Also I might just want to quickly logon to Citrix
and check my email or use my accounting app without having a performance
loss while my files sync. So I was thinking something like the
Briefcase might be ideal as the user can sync when we wants to sync.
Maybe we can call it the "Citrix Briefcase".
Are you interested in using this yourself?

WOW, That I have never heard done well.... I sure can't wait to hear the
responses on this one...
You could script it to run after login to MetaFrame and have it copy the
info through the drive VC but I don't think that would be very
articulate... A custom VC written to do that upon login would be
cool....
I don't know what to say... I can't wait to see everyone's response. I
hope I'm missing something or having a "case of the Mondays"... ;)

Subject: [THIN] Sync offline folders over ICA
Had anyone come up with an easy way to sync a home drive over ICA to a
laptop user? I'd like for our laptop users to be able to work offline on
word/excel and then when they log back into Citrix have to files
automatically sync back to the network.
Thanks for any suggestions!
