Windows 10: Get back online with offline files

I chose to make a folder available offline, now when I access that share I can only see that folder. My admin has "use offline files on slow connection" locked on. How can I see the rest of the files in the share? I tried the button under [Home][Easy Access], but it doesn't do the job. Other shares on the same server are working just fine online. Any suggestions?

offline files acces denied (file name database.xml)

Hi,

Access issues with offline files can be due to the changes in the configuration of the device and/or the host/server. To better understand your concern, we'd like to know the following:

• If you're using the Windows Sync Center application to access/manage your offline files.
• If you're referring to the use of the OneDrive application.
• If your device is managed by a domain or an organization.
• The exact error messages that you're getting when accessing the files.
• The version and build of Windows 10 that you're using on your device. To check this, you can perform the steps posted on this
  
  link.

In the meantime, we'd recommend performing the following steps to verify the status of the offline file access on your device:

• Search and launch Control Panel using Cortana.
• In the Search Control Panel box, type offline.
• Under Sync Center, click Manage offline files.
• In the Offline Files pop-up window, check if its enabled.

We look forward to your response.

 

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?

 

How can I get Office 2019 (NOT 365) to open files in offline folders when not connected to the Internet?

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



Is your computer connected to any Domain Network?



I suggest you to follow the below steps to remove the offline files and clearing the cache and check if you are able to access the files if not connected to the internet.



Before trying the below steps, I suggest you to take a backup of all the files in the Offline Folder.

• Open Sync Center > Click on Manage Offline Files on the left and select
  Disable Offline Files > Restart the computer once.
  
• Then, click on the Start Menu > Search for
  Command Prompt > Right-click on Command Prompt > Click on
  Run As Administrator.
  
• Once the Command Prompt is up and running, type the following commands one by one and hit
  Enter.
  

cd c:\Windows

takeown /f csc /r /a /d y > NUL

icacls csc /grant AdministratorsF) /t /l /q

• Then, delete the folders under C:\Windows\CSC >
  Restart the computer once > Enable Offline Files again and check if you are able to access the files.
