I can generally add web folders, but not all of the time. I normally have them added by clicking on the 'explorer' view on my WSS document library I would like to sync.  Then it shows up in the web folders under network places.&lt;br&gt;When I open synctoy and try picking the network place for the 'right' folder it asks for authentication and I type it in, but then nothing happens.  It just doesnt try to add the web folder to the folder pair.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Can you help me with my problem.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I would like to use this process for keeping some document libraries files updated on our Sharepoint site from local folders on my computer.&lt;br&gt;I enjoyed your Sharepoint template creation demo at TechEd in AKL too. :)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Cheers</description></item><item><title>re: Take WSS folders offline (&amp; in sync) without purchasing anything.</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/cjohnson/archive/2005/10/12/479855.aspx#483457</link><pubDate>Fri, 21 Oct 2005 18:05:40 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:483457</guid><dc:creator>Roland</dc:creator><description>I tried this but when I select a SharePoint site from my Network Places it does nothing.  It just goes back to the main screen and the Right (or Left) Folder text box is empty and the Next button is disabled.  Has anyone else experienced this?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I also noticed you cannot select an individual document library, list or folder.  You have to sync everything within that Network Place.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It seems Revelation is pretty inexpensive.  I don't know how much iOra is.  You're probably better off with a product like that if you really need to do this for business.</description></item><item><title>re: Take WSS folders offline (&amp; in sync) without purchasing anything.</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/cjohnson/archive/2005/10/12/479855.aspx#484529</link><pubDate>Tue, 25 Oct 2005 11:31:38 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:484529</guid><dc:creator>Merijn</dc:creator><description>I tried this.

I was wondering if there were plans &lt;br&gt;to address this in the future?  Also could you explain why this does not work &lt;br&gt;with SSL, as the functionality of &amp;quot;Web Folders&amp;quot; does allow for the creation &lt;br&gt;of &amp;quot;Network Places&amp;quot; that use SLL.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Could that be the answer?&lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Take WSS folders offline (&amp; in sync) without purchasing anything.</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/cjohnson/archive/2005/10/12/479855.aspx#503326</link><pubDate>Wed, 14 Dec 2005 00:59:03 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:503326</guid><dc:creator>chjohn</dc:creator><description>Hi Rachel,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I have been testing this against a WSS site that sits on the LAN and is just using http.

This site pointed back to the same database so essentially the users were working on the same files and we could now map to a drive letter with ‘net use’ in our login scripts. The mirror site had everything else removed (home page, mysite etc) and we did not create an ‘A’ record for the site so it was only available in the intranet/LAN.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Not the best solution but did get us over the line for all out internal users. If anyone knows of a nicer solution to mapping a drive letter to an SSL sharepoint box then please let me know.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thanks&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Damo&lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Take WSS folders offline (&amp;amp; in sync) without purchasing anything.</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/cjohnson/archive/2005/10/12/479855.aspx#604120</link><pubDate>Mon, 22 May 2006 23:50:36 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:604120</guid><dc:creator>chjohn</dc:creator><description>I have been doing some digging around this ... and may have found the reason people are having problems setting this up with SSL.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Please read the UPDATE 2 section in the post.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thanks, &amp;nbsp;Chris.</description></item><item><title>re: Take WSS folders offline (&amp;amp; in sync) without purchasing anything.</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/cjohnson/archive/2005/10/12/479855.aspx#604918</link><pubDate>Tue, 23 May 2006 19:43:19 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:604918</guid><dc:creator>Barry Jinks</dc:creator><description>You may want to try Colligo Reader. &amp;nbsp;It avoids the problems experienced with SyncToy and allows you to take not only documents, but metadata, lists and views offline. &amp;nbsp;And it's completely free. &amp;nbsp;You can get it here -&amp;gt; &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.colligo.com/products/sharepoint/reader.asp"&gt;http://www.colligo.com/products/sharepoint/reader.asp&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;For a discussion of SyncToy have a look at our blog here -&amp;gt; &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.offlinesharepoint.com/topic/synctoy/"&gt;http://www.offlinesharepoint.com/topic/synctoy/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Barry Jinks,&lt;br&gt;Founder &amp;amp; CEO,&lt;br&gt;Colligo Networks, Inc.</description></item><item><title>re: Take WSS folders offline (&amp;amp; in sync) without purchasing anything.</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/cjohnson/archive/2005/10/12/479855.aspx#610617</link><pubDate>Tue, 30 May 2006 10:48:52 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:610617</guid><dc:creator>Jonas</dc:creator><description>Response on &amp;quot;update 2&amp;quot;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We have new certificates and they are valid och not outdated.&lt;br&gt;There's no error connecting to the website.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Besides thet I have one site with SSL that is workning.&lt;br&gt;The site that is not working with SSL is on the same server but another website.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Regards</description></item><item><title>re: Take WSS folders offline (&amp;amp; in sync) without purchasing anything.</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/cjohnson/archive/2005/10/12/479855.aspx#646677</link><pubDate>Sun, 25 Jun 2006 19:56:09 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:646677</guid><dc:creator>randy</dc:creator><description>i am also having problems mapping a drive to a sharepoint site that uses SSL. it seems that i can get this to work on a sharepoint site NOT using SSl, but once i enable SSL, it fails.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;i am using a java redirect to redirect all http traffic to https.... and there are no certificate errors whatsoever.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;anythoughts?</description></item><item><title>re: Take WSS folders offline (&amp;amp; in sync) without purchasing anything.</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/cjohnson/archive/2005/10/12/479855.aspx#718683</link><pubDate>Thu, 24 Aug 2006 21:36:16 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:718683</guid><dc:creator>Steve</dc:creator><description>A friend recommended adding &amp;quot;http://*.mycompany.com&amp;quot; to the Trusted Sites list and now I'm able to map and Sync with no problems.

&lt;p&gt;When working with the explorer I can drag and drop the files and folders, but are prompted for Username/PW. After that also multiple file operations do not work.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I believe these access methods are using the WebDAV protocol to communicate with the server. &amp;nbsp;Iin this case, the server is Sharepoint, but there are lots of other WebDAV servers. &amp;nbsp;Windows XP had some major bugs in how it works with WebDAV. &amp;nbsp;This pretty much renders it useless for anything but the most simple usage. One of the bugs has to do with SSL.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This has caused me no end of headaches trying to work around this. &amp;nbsp;I've been forced to work with third party tools, and even to develop my own. &amp;nbsp;When all I should need is NET USE.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have no idea why Microsoft never fixed these bugs. &amp;nbsp;I sure hope they are fixed in Vista.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Take WSS folders offline (&amp; in sync) without purchasing anything.</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/cjohnson/archive/2005/10/12/479855.aspx#4313167</link><pubDate>Thu, 09 Aug 2007 22:37:30 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:4313167</guid><dc:creator>chuck salvo</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;We fought with this for 20 minutes, make sure that you don't take the full url - you need to replace any %20 with spaces.

&lt;p&gt;I tried using SyncToy with a MOSS 2007 mysite folder and got a message that the FileSyncProvider encountered an unexpected error. I am pasting the text from the log file below. I had mapped the private folder of the mysite to the drive W in this experiment and gave the full credentials along with the network mapping. Any help in this regard would be very much appreciated. I am using SyncToy v2.0.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The above is handled already by Outlook 2007, so for those users whom have this already, Outlook will take your documents/lists offline for you without the need to setup anything on the local client in terms of network places, etc.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Take WSS folders offline (&amp; in sync) without purchasing anything.</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/cjohnson/archive/2005/10/12/479855.aspx#9234668</link><pubDate>Thu, 18 Dec 2008 09:36:35 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:9234668</guid><dc:creator>EspiC</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;100% Correct Andy...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Extract from an &amp;quot;Overview of Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services and Outlook 2007&amp;quot; in MS Outlook Help&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What is new in document sharing&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;By using the new features in document sharing, you can collect, preview, edit, and manage SharePoint documents from within Outlook.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Single point of access &amp;nbsp; If you use Outlook to search for a document, Outlook will search all the SharePoint documents that you are connected to and all e-mail attachments as well. Document previews enable you to browse through search results.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Faster editing &amp;nbsp; Opening and saving changes to SharePoint documents from Outlook is faster than before and can also be done when you are offline. SharePoint documents and folders that are connected to Outlook are synchronized in the background, so that copies of each are always available for editing on your local computer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Preview and search capabilities &amp;nbsp; New attachment previewing and search features in Outlook also work for SharePoint documents.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>SyncToy 2.0 not working</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/cjohnson/archive/2005/10/12/479855.aspx#9248109</link><pubDate>Mon, 22 Dec 2008 23:35:27 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:9248109</guid><dc:creator>Looking for the Https solution</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;There is a defect with SyncToy 2.0 as described below:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hi - &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We have found the problem while syncing to Sharepoint folders and I am afraid that we do not have a workaround for this. So while you can sync down from a sharepoint site - you cannot sync files upto a sharepoint site successfully. We are working on a fix for this and it we will include it in our next SyncToy update.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Deepa&lt;/p&gt;

Alway Sync will allow you to sync a wide variety of locations (source and destination) in either or both directions. You can also make this run when to automatically sync the two locations when something is changed or added. So there is no manual intervention.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I found this forum searching for a way to sync a network share with a document library, which is particularly helpful when setting up SharePoint to eventaully replace the drives. You can keep them in sync until your cut-off date.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After talking with a colleague of mine, we also realized that this can be used as an export tool. So to take offline, like the main subject of this forum, or to even automate an export so that any particular files are available in an alternative location (DR) when needed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Just thought it might help to put this out, knowing how long it took me to find something that worked the way I needed. BTW... It works with SSL too.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Take WSS folders offline (&amp; in sync) without purchasing anything.</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/cjohnson/archive/2005/10/12/479855.aspx#9507721</link><pubDate>Wed, 25 Mar 2009 18:58:32 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:9507721</guid><dc:creator>Brett Pierron</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I have found another that seems to work pretty well.
