    Accessing Documents Offline


    My question was about syncing online and offline.

    Normally to access documents you would be connected to the internet. There's a feature that allows you to access your documents when you don't have internet, then when the computer gets connected to the internet it automatically syncs.


    What is this feature called? Does Microsoft have a webpage where I could read about it?


    Thanks.

    :)

    Prooblems accessing documents

    Hi Jilly,

    Generally, the Documents folder found under Quick access is the Documents folder built-in to Windows, and not the Documents folder in OneDrive. Since you mentioned that both This PC and OneDrive are giving you the "Location is not available." message,
    do you mean to say that both Documents folders are missing from Quick access?

    Based on the screenshot that you've provided, you are accessing your Documents through This PC, instead of Quick access. Have you tried pinning the Documents folder from This PC to Quick access? If not, we suggest that you do. This way, you won't need to
    go through several folders to reach your files.

    Here's how:

    • Access the contents of of the user account that you're using, in your case, it's the
      jilly folder from This PC > OS (CAccessing Documents Offline :) >
      Users > jilly.
    • Right-click on Documents, and then select Pin to Quick access.

    Regarding the OneDrive folder, we suggest restoring the Documents folder from the OneDrive recycle bin so we can avoid further errors. You may refer to this
    support article for steps on how to restore deleted files and folders
    in OneDrive.

    Is your OneDrive synced to your Windows 10 PC? If so, you can try to restore the Documents folder from
    http://onedrive.live.com. Steps on how to restore deleted files and folders can be found in this
    support article under the
    Restore deleted items section.

    Let us know how it turns out.

    RetailDemo Offline Content?


    Was cleaning up my 10162 install using cleanmgr. One option on the list was "RetailDemo Offline Content", it was 100MB. Not sure what this is, before I delete it. Suggestions?

    access to Documents and Settings in Windows 10

    Hi William,

    For us to isolate the issue regarding your access to documents and settings, we will need to ask you a few questions:

    • Are you having issues with Microsoft Access?
    • Are you getting any error messages?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?
    • Since when are you experiencing the issue?
    • Any recent changes made prior to the issue?

    Regards.
