When enabled, the selected folder paths will be downloaded in the background after a user logs on. You may also specify exceptions within these paths in the 'Folders to background download (exceptions)' policy.
Some usage scenarios can be optimized by downloading the contents of specific folders in the background. This can help users avoid waiting for large downloads either during logon or when an application starts.
For example, including the VMware ThinApp sandbox folders may improve application startup times by ensuring that all needed persona files have already been downloaded before starting.
All folder paths should be relative to the root of the user's local profile.
