Hi, i have about 10gb of files synced on box.com. I have a new laptop, reinstalled the sync client, and I see all the folders and files, but when I check size of the folder it's only few GBs. I don't understand if the files are shown, but not present locally on my hard disk, until I open them and they are downloaded from the server. I want my files present physically on my hard disk, and not only in the box cloud. How can I manage this?

Cheers

Right-click the folder you'd like to store on your local drive and select "Make Available Offline".

thanks, the option was not visible in win11 right-click menu, and the icons were not showing any symbol, so i was not sure how to proceed. This seems to work ;)
