Hi there
Offline files is a bit too unreliable, on Win8 & Win10
Just 1 conflict can be enough to put it into offline mode & the user wont notice untill they realize they cant see
new files on the server or 'server PC' . Also, 'sync confilcts' can cause multiple files to not sync up at all.
On WIn10 it wont sync on shutdown: thats when a sync is most needed for a laptop that will be taken out of office.
Any good alternatives, that just work, reliably. ?
For a PC/laptop pair I was considering dropbox, instead of offline files. The downsides with these cloud
sync solutions are you MUST use their folder name (eg C:\..blah...\dropbox) and of course sync wont be as fast.
At the moment Im using a robocopy on the PC/laptop pair, but thats setup as a copy(one direction) not a true sync.
And I couldnt schedule that to run on shutdown either, just on startup or run manually.
The robocopy is only a temp solution untill I find something workable.
