　　离线功能是来自很多真实项目的需求，很多企业用户可以离线工作，然后连线后再同步数据到sharepoint站点或者更新本地数据。以前的groovy workspace已经升级成sharepoint workspace。sharepoint workspace 2010 不支持很多复杂的list或定制后的list，同时也不支持一些content types，见下文描述。这种限制导致某些定制很多的list或library难以支持离线功能，目前还没有研究过如何对sharepoint workspace客户端进行定制以及它是否使用了sharepoint client model等。sharepoint workspace本地存储采用Office Document Cache (ODC),有大小限制。本地超过1800 个文件后，出现警告，只会下载标题。sharepoint workspace和windows 搜索，workspace目录浏览整合的很紧密。SharePoint Workspace 2010和groovy server已经没有什么直接依赖关系。
另外，如果sharepoint workspace同步功能不可用，检查是否为sharepoint server 2010版本，同时检查workspace功能或FSSHTTP (File Synchronization via  SOAP over HTTP)是否被禁用。

　　SharePoint sync is the new focus of the product, and here in Support,  we get a lot of questions about how it works. What kinds of data can be  synchronized? How much data? What SharePoint versions are supported?  Does the product still use Groove servers? In this article, I review  some of the common points of confusion.
　　Your options
　　SharePoint Workspace 2010 has two ways to synchronize content with SharePoint sites:

• A SharePoint workspace can take many types of site content  offline, but only from Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 or SharePoint  Foundation 2010. When the SharePoint Online servers are upgraded to 2010  technology, you will also be able to use a SharePoint workspace for  SharePoint Online sites.
  
• A SharePoint Files tool in a Groove workspace (formerly  called a "Standard workspace") will synch to either a 2007 or 2010  server, but can only take a single document library offline. To use the  SharePoint Files tool, you must choose the option to create a  2007-version Groove workspace. The SharePoint Files tool is unchanged  since Office Groove 2007.
  

　　Note: When reading the help or other product documentation,  remember that "a SharePoint workspace" is only one of the workspace  types included in "SharePoint Workspace". If you are not aware of the  difference, some information may appear contradictory.
　　So which should you use? If possible, use a SharePoint workspace.  SharePoint workspaces work with SharePoint 2010 technology to gain  better integration than the old SharePoint Files tool can. They use the  same storage and transport services as most other Office 2010  applications that can work with files stored on a SharePoint site. (The  odd one is this case is OneNote, which has its own mechanism for storing  file data synchronized with SharePoint.) These services provide  load-balancing and transport optimization, making synchronization more  efficient than in the SharePoint Files tool. In most cases, you will  have a better experience with a SharePoint workspace.  
　　There are really only two situations in which you might want to use the old SharePoint Files tool:

• If you need to share SharePoint files with someone who does not have access to the SharePoint site.
  
• If you need to synchronize files with a document library on a 2007 SharePoint Server.
  

　　Content types
　　A SharePoint workspace can sync almost anything that it can store in a  Documents tool or a Lists tool. These means most SharePoint lists and  libraries are supported, although some heavily customized lists may have  problems.
　　The following content types cannot currently be synchronized by a SharePoint workspace:

• Calendar/Events lists
  
• Wikis
  
• Blog sites
  
• Portal sites
  
• Form libraries
  
• Slide libraries
  
• Surveys
  
• Site directories
  
• OneNote notebooks stored in document libraries (because OneNote uses its own storage method)
  
• IRM-protected document libraries (individually protected files are okay, within constraints)
  
• Anything other than lists and libraries
  

　　Anything else should work, although there are some special requirements for external lists.
　　To prevent confusion and aid in accessibility, lists and libraries  that SharePoint Workspace cannot synchronize (or that you choose not to  synchronize) are still listed in the workspace. In the default view,  they are displayed under the heading Available on Server.  When you highlight an entry for unsynchronized content, the SharePoint  workspace provides a link to open the list or library in a browser. If  the content type is supported, you will also have an option to connect  the entry to the list or library.
　　Getting started
　　You can create a SharePoint workspace from the Launchbar, but it's  often easier to do it from the SharePoint site itself. When you are  viewing the site in the browser, open the Site Actions menu, and choose Sync to SharePoint Workspace. You can use Configure to adjust the content downloaded, or just leave it at the default.
　　Troubleshooting workspace creation
　　If you don't see Sync to SharePoint Workspace in the Site Actions  menu, then either the SharePoint server is not at 2010, or the  SharePoint administrator has disabled Workspaces. In the latter case,  you may also find that you don't have options such as "Edit in Word" for  a Word document.
　　If you see Sync to SharePoint Workspace, but when you try to  use it, SharePoint Workspace reports that it can't contact the server  (the one you are viewing in your browser!), then the SharePoint  administrator has probably disabled FSSHTTP (File Synchronization via  SOAP over HTTP), which SharePoint Workspace requires to synchronize file  data. Other Office applications that use Workspaces use this protocol  as well, but will usually fall back to Web-DAV if FSSHTTP is not  available. SharePoint workspaces require FSSHTTP to support a rich  client experience for SharePoint.
　　Warnings about the number of synchronized items
　　SharePoint Workspaces, like several other office applications, uses  the Office Document Cache (ODC) to store files taken offline from  SharePoint. When the Office Document Cache (not a particular workspace)  exceeds 500 files, SharePoint Workspace will warn you about the cache  size at startup. When the cache exceeds 1800 files, or when a particular  operation - whether that is taking a new site offline or fetching a  single new file - would take you over the 1800 file limit, SharePoint  Workspace will display a warning and switch to downloading headers only  for any new content taken offline.
　　Finding files stored in SharePoint workspaces
　　Note that although SharePoint Workspace uses the ODC, files in  SharePoint workspaces are not visible in the Upload Center. However,  files in SharePoint workspaces and 2010 Groove workspaces are easier to  find than ever before!
　　By searching:
　　You can use Windows Search -- either from Windows or within SharePoint Workspace -- to search the following content:

• Files stored in the Documents tool (including SharePoint workspace document libraries)
  
• Items in the Lists tool (including SharePoint workspace lists, the 2010 Discussion tool, and other Lists-based tools)
  
• Items in the Calendar tool
  
• Entries in the Notepad tool
  
• Messages in the Message History
  

　　By browsing:
　　If you are running Windows Vista or  Windows 7, you can access files in the Documents tool (including  SharePoint workspace document libraries) via the Workspaces folder in your personal folder.
　　Note that 2007 Groove workspaces are not accessible using these  methods, so if you have a workspace created with a previous version of  Groove, or you set the Workspace Version option to 2007  when creating a new Groove workspace, content in that workspace will not  show up in a Windows search, and the workspace will not be listed in  your Workspaces folder.
　　Groove servers
　　So does SharePoint Workspace 2010 use Groove servers? That depends on  what product features you use. Groove servers are not used by  SharePoint workspaces. Beyond that, the subject probably deserves its  own post.
　　That's all for today! Is there some SharePoint Workspace feature or  change you'd like to see covered here? Leave a comment to let me know.
