Windows 2000, XP Pro, Vista Business & 7 Professional all have the 'Offline Files' feature built-in. I am trying to find an equivalent in Mac OS. [I currently carry about 80Gb of my network data.]
Check out this link for a DIY option http://www.tnpi.net/wiki/Do_It_Yourself_.Mac, or follow my post to see if anyone can help viewtopic.php?f=61&t=40968.

I'm on Windows 7. I'm familiar with the offline files feature, but that copies the entire share/folder/files to your local drive in a temp location. Not exactly the same thing as a cache. The cache just keeps a copy of the file locally in case you access it frequently, it dosn't have to re-download the file again (unless it has changed). ZumoDrive (web service) has exactly what we are both looking for, but I was hoping for something I could use with my ReadyNAS.
