If the network drives are larger than the space allocated to OF, I could
see where that could cause a problem. I would try disabling OF,
rebooting and starting over with a larger OF cache.
Re: shortcuts: I could see that one disappearing if OF are not
correctly being synchronized. I have seen instances where someone else
had set up OF and I couldn't figure out exactly what (which folders) and
where (original folder location) was configured, and it wasn't working
properly either. I set it up from scratch and it worked properly, so it
makes a difference on how it's configured.
