Thanks, that answers the question. &nbsp;I kind-of figured server wins when you fire up offline files again. <br />
<br />
I took a copy of the files but I will also copy the files from the csc folder.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
Client has Win7 laptop, folder redirection for desktop and documents. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Unbeknownst to anyone, his offline sync / sync center stopped and were disabled, but he is still using the client-side cached versions of his files. &nbsp;<br />
Because of this his files are as much as a year or more out of sync with what is stored on the server and the newer, more-valid files are on his laptop.<br />
<br />
I am concerned (because it doesn't seem clearly documented anywhere I looked), that re-enabling offline files and re-establishing sync will result in his client-side cache being overlaid by the much older files in his user\home$\username folder on the server.<br />
<br />
Are my fears unfounded? &nbsp;Will re-enabling offline files cause the newer files in his client-side cache to win the argument and bring his redirected server-based folder up to date with what's in client-side cache? &nbsp;Or will it clear the client-side cache and load all the old versions of the flile, wiping out over a year's worth of work?

Broken offline files - client-side cache is newer than server

A desktop computer is a personal computer designed for use at a single location due to its size and power requirements, usually by one person. The most common configuration has a case that houses the power supply, motherboard, disk storage (usually one or more hard disk drives and optical disc drives); a keyboard and mouse for input; and computer monitor and printer for output. The case may be oriented horizontally and placed atop a desk or vertically and placed underneath or beside a desk.
