Hi

I would like to know how I can keep files offline until I choose to sync
them, this would be through multiple reboots as well.

Basically, I connect to the office through a VPN, from many office LAN's/the
internet and I get frustrated with having to keep switch to work offline.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for posting here.

From your description, I understand you want to manually set the sync time
of offline files to avoid keeping switch to work offline. If I
misunderstood, please let me know.

Typically, Windows will automatically sync the offline files after we
complete the modification of offline files. In the beginning, I suspect
this behavior might be modified through Group Policy. Accordingly, I search
all the offline file related group policy under the following paths and
conclude no such item allows us to alter this behavior.

Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Network\Offline Files
User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Network\Offline Files

However, in a bright side, we can configure the Sync Schedule to customize
the sync time in Windows Vista operating system as following:

In Control Panel, click Network and Internet, and then click Sync Center.
Please select one Offline Files under Folders tab and click Schedule.

Select the items you want to sync on this schedule and click Next. After
that, you will see two options which you can choose: At a schedule time or
On an event or action.

If you select At a scheduled time, you can manually set a schedule for the
time to sync. If you select On an event or action, the events or actions
you selected will automatically sync "Offline Files". For example, we can
define to sync offline files when logging on computer or locking
computer.You can select one of the above two options to customize Sync time
according to your requirement.

Here is some information for your reference:
