How to share an offline folder?
Hello
How do I share an offline folder?
Basically I have a server with photos on it, I then have a machine called
\\livigroom that sync with the
\\server\photos folder. So all is great so the sync is automatic.
Now I want to share the offline folder of
\\livingroom\photo machine so basically even if the
\\server is off I can access to the
\\livingroom\photos (the offine one)
I try to map a drive and also to use homegroup but I wasn't able to do it, I'm sure there must be a way
thanks for your help

You must use the sync center from the control pannel. Alternatively go to the start menu and type sync center in the search box. You will then need to set up a sync partnership.

To set up Offline Files open a network folder, right click on a file or folder, and select Always Available Offline.
Offline Files allows you to access network files while working offline.
My question is: how do you then share those 'offline files' that are in the c:\windows\csc folder?
thanks

Hi,
I would like to let you know C:\Windows\CSC folder is to keep the cache of Offline files and folders when the feature is enabled. User don't have permission to access
the folder. It is protected by authentication.
After enabling
Always Available Offline feature on machine \\livigroom,
only the current user login on machine \\livigroom can access the
photos.
Best Regards,
Niki

Please add an 'enhancement request so the user can share the files if he wants to.
I guess in the mean time I'm force to use sync toy, any other idea?
Does Sync center can be setup to do this?
