6.4.Disabling offline access

Offline files access can be

  • Disabled using the “Disable offline access” context menu option (Screenshot A) – with this option the user removes all offline metadata and offline files of the selected folder(s) and all of the subfolders, so they will not be available in offline mode.
  • Turned off by unchecking the first check box in the Offline synchronization settings (Screenshot B) – this doesn’t delete the currently downloaded offline files, but the user will not be able to download new files for offline access while this option is turned off.
