    Shared Folder Issues


    Hi,

    I am trying to fix an issue with our company shared folder at my workplace.

    All the computers/laptops have access to a shared folder on the server, but one laptop isn't showing all the folders that are in the shared folder, for example in one folder it is showing 76 folders instead of the 93 that are actually in the folder.

    The shared folder also keeps going offline on the laptop. I restarted the laptop and the shared folder was back online again, and I tried to sync the folder, but it then disconnected and went offline within 5 minutes of the reboot.

    Can anyone help?

    Thanks

    It sounds like you have Offline Files enabled, and that your offline files database on the laptop is corrupted. You'll have to re-initialize it. See here:

    How to re-initialize the offline files cache and database

    This is a common issue and I have had to do this quite a few times with my laptop users.
