In Windows 11 or 10, you can enable or disable the Offline Files feature. This feature helps save copies of files and/or folders from a network location to your local computer.
This can be useful for situations where you need to access files even when you are not connected to the network where the original files are located, such as when you are on the road or do not have constant network access.
Windows automatically keeps the copies of the offline files synchronized with the original files on the network once you reconnect to that network. This ensures that your local copies are always up to date.
You can then open and edit the offline files even when you are not connected to the network. This is useful for situations where you don't have access to the network but still want to work with your files.
Enable offline files in Windows 11 or 10
To use offline files, you must first enable the feature. You do this as follows.
To begin open the control panel. In the control panel, change “show by” to “large icons”.
Then click on “Sync Center”.
Click on “Manage Offline Files” in the left menu and then click on the “Enable Offline Files” button.
Use offline files if you want to keep a copy of files or the network on your computer. This allows you to work with these files even if your computer is not connected to the network or if a server is unavailable.
Make files or folders available offline
To use Offline Files in Windows 11, you can follow these steps:
- Navigate to the folder or network location you want to make available offline.
- Right-click on the folder or files you want to make offline.
- Choose “Make available offline” from the context menu.
- Windows will now save the selected files and folders locally, allowing you to access them without a network connection.
