Set storage mode

You can select the following storage modes:

●    Offline mode: You can download files and make boxes or folders available offline on your mobile device. Thus, you can access your boxes without having an internet connection. Working offline, you can read the files available offline and mark them as read. Additionally, you can undo the offline availability of boxes and folders.
