I just mean does it keep offline copies of the most recently synced versions, when you're not connected to the internet? And does it propagate local changes whenever you're back online?
Dropbox does that seamlessly on Linux and Mac (I don't have Windows). It's not just transferring files to and from a place in the cloud, but a seamless sync of a local folder whenever you're online, with access and use while you're offline.
The windows client does, yes. But I’ve found that to be fragile on occasions.
Gotcha. I don’t know, I never tried. I’m curious now and will investigate.
