Work offline and sync later to cloud

Question

Dear all,

Good day.

We have deployed our application in Azure VM and users are connecting the application through RDP. If we have connection issues in the internet, RDP is disconnected and productivity got affected.

Is there any method to work offline and sync later to cloud VM.

Thanks.

Hello MOHANRAJ RAMACHANDRAN

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform, thanks for posting your query here.

As Tushar mentioned in previous response, the workarounds depends on your application.

Few alternatives, that can help are:

-You can set up a virtual machine (VM) locally on your computer using virtualization software, and then synchronize your work with the cloud VM when you regain internet connectivity.

-Remote Desktop Services Offline Mode, when a user logs on to a remote desktop or application while connected to the corporate network, the Remote Desktop Services server caches the user's credentials and a copy of the user's desktop or application. If the user later disconnects from the network, they can still access their cached desktop or application in Offline Mode. When the user reconnects to the network, any changes they made while in Offline Mode will be synchronized with the server.

-You can leverage file synchronization tools such as Microsoft OneDrive, Google Drive, or Dropbox to sync your files between your local machine and the Azure VM. These tools allow you to work offline and automatically sync your changes when you regain internet connectivity.

As mentioned earlier, it's important to note that the specific approach you choose depends on the nature of your application, your requirements, and the capabilities provided by your Azure VM configuration. Consider evaluating these options and selecting the one that best suits your needs and can help you maintain productivity even in the event of an internet outage.

Hope this helps.
