### Keep Offline

Choose *Mountain Duck → Keep Offline on Local Disk* to make files and folders available offline. The status of the file will change to *In Sync*. The action is recursive for all contained files when a folder is selected and applies to new files found on the remote storage.
Choose *Mountain Duck → Keep Offline on Local Disk* to make files and folders available even offline with no network connectivity. The status of the file will change to *In Sync*. The action is recursive for all contained files when a folder is selected and applies to new files found on the remote storage.

The files are saved in the obfuscated sync cache and the local copy can't be accessed without using the volume mounted by Mountain Duck. Changes on cached files from a mounted volume without an activ network connection will be written to the sync cache and will be synchronized in the background when the server is reachable again.

```{note}
As long as the volume is mounted, files marked _Up to Date_ or _In Sync_ with a green checkmark remain accessible even if the network connection drops. Changes are synchronized in the background when the server is reachable again.
