    W10 Offline files + File sharing problem


    Can anyone help with this ?:
    I have one W10 Pro (1909) in workgroup with shares on it as home computer and the second W10 Pro (1909) I have in company domain. When I want to connect from my company W10 to shares on my home W10 computer it works fine. I just put home comp local user credentials and I am on shares perfectly.
    But if I try to switch on "Offline files" on my company W10 computer and set some share folder from home computer to be always available offline I'm getting into troubles.
    When I set it for the first time, all files are replicated to offline and thats it. But after rebooting this company computer with offline files on it I am unable to connect to home W10 computer anymore and access those shares again. Only replica and offline files are available offline of course but other shares not. If I try I get error 0x80004005 and if I try to map any other share it tells me that "something" is currently mapped using a different user name and password. Offline files are not synchronizing with shared content anymore.

    Then If I switch off "offline files feature" again and reboot again then everything works fine again with shares. So setting up of offline files saves some kind of credentials somewhere and block connecting to shares even though I always use the same credentials.
    So any solution to that ??? I want use offline files and connect to other shares on the same computer and without connecting and putting the credentials even offline files dont sync.

    :)

    Ermmm, where are the files stored? Server or one of the machines you listed?

    Should be easy enough to help you through the forum, you may not need a help site.

    Offline files not syncing

    Hi Ramsha,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community forums.



    This could be due to the incorrect caching set for the network folder. You may want to try the steps listed below and check if it works.



    • Open Share Properties
      of the network folder and click on Advance sharing.
    • Choose Caching and select
      No files or programs from the shared folder are available offline.
    • Save the changes and reboot the machine to see if it works.


    Hope it helps.

    Regards,

    W10 Offline files + File sharing problem

    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.
