When you are connected to the internet and open the app, it performs a sync to download all of the data to your device into a temporary cache that only exists while the app is open. Also, the data does not store images, but rather the url to the image. Those images are only downloaded and stored in your cache when they need to be displayed in your app. Now the offline capability comes into play if you already have the app open, because much of the data is already cached… I think this comment sums it up well. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.glideapps.com/t/its-possible-to-use-the-app-offline-2024/70866)._
