If this is a dell laptop, remove the Dell Trust Suite software(Embassy...). We had the exact same issue last week with a completely new network, reset perms on folders, and it was hit or miss. Eventually though they would do work at home, come in to sync and could not poof files go bye bye...
Removed the software and instantly no problems. Software takes 5 to 10 mins to uninstall and looks to lock the system but leave it alone.

This meets your "anyway" requirement. 2GB limit shouldn't cause this behavior. Versions of Window (client-side) might be useful information to somebody as Vista and XP do offline files very differently.

I'm new to working with Offline Files. I have a user that works remotely and came into our home office today. Synced his offline files and poof.... All files are gone between now and the last time he synced...... Did a windows search for some of his files and nothing. Files are not on the server either. Looked in the offline folder and the newer files are not their either. Also in my digging it would appear that the person that set this up ( I'm new here) also enforced a 2Gb limit on Offline files. This user is over 2Gb so I'm guessing this is part of the problem. Is there anyway get these missing files back?
