Offline Files is a cool feature available in Windows since the days of Windows XP which allows you to see the files shared over a network even when you are not connected to the network. When you enable offline files, it will tell the Windows to store a local copy of the files on your computer so that you can access them even when you are away from the network. Later, when you come back on to the network, these files will get synchronized with the server to update to the latest version of the files.
