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.
