Offline Files... No Folders?? 1

I want files on my laptop (Specifically the My Documents folder and it's subfolders) to synchronize to my network drive at work. So I copied the My Documents folder and it's subfolders on my laptop to my network drive on the server and I have Offline Files enabled. I set the My Documents folder on my network drive to be made available offline and allowed subfolders to be made available as well, then placed a shortcut on the desktop to the Offline files folder.

The problem I have is that when I click on the shortcut I can see all the files I have enabled for synchronization but the are all in the root of the Offline files folder. No folders! Needless to say 2,000+ files is too much to be sifting through to find the file I want. I need to have the offline files organized into folders. How can this be done?

Thanks!
 
Don't use the Offline Folders Icon to view your files. It shows you a status of your offline folders if you have problems with them. Simply continue to use your folder like you usually do. If your offline, and try to open your network drive, it will automatically use your offline version. When your online, it will use the regular network resource.

In other words, you open drive X: offline or not.
