Hi anonymous, I just merged your second post, under the first thread you used, in order to post your query. Now, what you described sounds like you're syncing an online-only file, and making it available offline, is that the case? 

 

Can you send me a couple of screenshots, in order for me to have a clear visual of the behavior you mentioned?
