On my file server, I setup Automatic Caching for Documents
in user shares. However, only opened files are
automatically downloaded and made available when working
offline (It seems the user has to at least open a file or
folder at least once for it to be automatically cached).
How can I setup Automatic Caching to download ALL files
and folders including those that the user has not opened.

Thanks in advance.
 
Hi,

The setting could be Automatic caching of documents which makes only the
open files to be available offline. However there is no specific setting to
make all the files availalbe offline. You may go for manual caching of
documents to make users to specify the files that they want to be available
offline.

1. Open Computer Management (Local)

2. In the console tree, click Shares.

Computer Management > System Tools > Shared Folders > Shares

3. Right-click the shared resource for which you want to set caching
options, and then click Properties.

4. On the General tab, click Caching. If you want to disable caching, clear
the Allow caching of files in this shared folder check box, and then click
OK. If you want to allow caching, leave this check box selected.

5. If the check box is selected, in the Setting box, click one of the
following, and then click OK:

• Click Automatic caching of documents to make every file that a user opens
available offline.

• Click Automatic caching of programs and documents to provide offline
access to shared resources that contain read-only files or applications
that run from the network.

• Click Manual caching of documents to require users to specify the files
that they want to be available when they work offline.
