# How do I keep a Delta Drive folder available offline?

Right-click the folder in Delta Drive and choose **Always keep on this Mac**. A full copy is kept on your Mac and updated in the background, so those files open with no network at all.

It uses disk space, which is why it's a decision you make per folder rather than a switch left on everywhere. When you have a fast external drive set up, the copy goes there. The folder's mark shows **Always on this Mac**, hollow while the copy is still arriving.
