# Offline

You can file folders and documents you would like to access even without an Internet connection in the Offline work area. The entries are filed as a copy to the internal or external storage of your device. The filing location in ELO does not change.

In the Configuration dialog box, you can specify whether to store entries from the Offline work area to the internal storage of your device or to an external storage medium such as an SD card.

# Make entries available offline

Depending on the size of the entry you are transferring, large data volumes may need to be processed. We only recommend transferring large data volumes to the Offline work area when your device is connected to the Internet and a power source. Please make sure that you have sufficient storage space.
