Automatic caching makes the contents of a folder available offline whether someone using your shared server appliance folder specifically chooses to make them available or not. Automatic caching makes every file that someone opens available to that person offline. Documents, drawings, program files, and other files can all be made available.

Only those files that someone opens in your shared server appliance folder will continue to be available to that person when working offline.

Automatic caching for programs

Automatic Caching for Programs provides read- only offline access to shared folder files. This caching option is ideal for making files available offline that are referenced, run, or read, but that should not be changed in the process. Automatic Caching for Programs reduces network traffic because offline files are opened directly, without accessing the network versions in any way, and generally start and run faster than the network versions.

Note: When you use Automatic Caching for Programs, be sure to restrict permissions on the shared folder files to read-only access.
