Hi,
Make sure that network connectivity to the share is working if you have
problem in synchronizing. Here are genral guidelines for offline folders..
To set up your computer to use offline files Open My Computer. On the Tools
menu, click Folder Options.
On the Offline Files tab, make sure that the Enable Offline Files check box
is selected. Select Synchronize all offline files before logging off to get
a full synchronization. Leave it unselected for a quick synchronization.
A full synchronization ensures that you have the most current version of
every shared network file that you work with offline. A quick
synchronization ensures that you have complete versions of your offline
files, although they may not be the most current versions. You might select
a quick synchronization if you are the only person working on a file or if
you do not need the most current version of a file.
If you want to control which offline files are synchronized, when they are
synchronized, and whether Windows prompts you before synchronizing your
files, you can use Synchronization Manager. For more information, click

After you set up your computer to use offline files, you need to make
shared network files available to you
To synchronize offline items Open Synchronization Manager. Select the check
boxes next to the offline items that you want to synchronize, such as a
mapped network drive or an Internet Explorer offline Web page. Click
Synchronize.
Files must be shared before they can be used with Offline Files. Once
shared, files will display in the list of available items to synchronize.
To synchronize individual files, folders, or Web pages in Windows Explorer,
My Computer, or Internet Explorer, select the item that you want to
synchronize. On the Tools menu, select and click Synchronize.
Synchronization Manager can also be opened from the command line. Click
Start, click Run, type in mobsync, and then click OK.
