John, you definitely should be able to change all the files on both PC to "Available offline". But the PC must be connected online to SkyDrive at the time of the change. This is the normal and only way of working for SkyDrive/OneDrive in all other versions of Windows. There are some suggestions on Google that it may need to be repeated on each PC before it sticks. On Google there are many tutorials of how to do it using either File Explorer or the SkyDrive app. Has anyone else experienced this problem and can help John with a solution???

It appears to me a problem with SkyDrive.

The problem I have is that on the 2nd computer none of the media files are showing, the media files are in the download folder, when I make a check on the Work with External File Links all the files are showing to be linked correctly and when checking against the main computer with Work with External File Links they are the same on both computers. > > John >
