What if I accidentally fill up my device's storage capacity before Drive finishes downloading all my available offline content?īox Drive also displays as problem items all content it cannot download as a result of insufficient drive space on your device. If you gain permissions, retry your problem items to correct the downloads. Or if you must have offline access, you can contact the folder owner to gain the proper permission.

What if I don’t have permission to download a file that's in a folder marked as available offline? This enables you to tailor to your need the set of content you make available offline for each device.
