I am working on a Windows Desktop Application using C# where files/folders are transferred from web server to a particular user's folder in the computer and vice versa. (Something like SkyDrive where the files/folders from the application is copied to the user's skyDrive folder)

So right now I am able to copy the files to and from the web server if the system is connected to internet. If I create a file/folder offline and the next time I connect to internet I need to copy the newly created ones to the web server. Basically a 2 way sync while offline. Is there any possible way to implement this.? Can I implement this with Sync Framework ? Please help me

Thanks in advance!

You need to maintain the history of files,folder's created/modified date time to any available local database. When the system is connected to internet, compare the old files/folder details with existing one, then update in server.

Yes, of course. You may list files (an their attributes) on both the client and server side and then merge the folder contents.

I'm not going to prevent you doing that, for sure.
