gHacks shows you how to use Work Folders in Windows 8.1

If you browse the (desktop) control panel on a Windows 8.1 system you may notice a new entry there that you may not have seen before. Work Folders is listed there only if you switch from the default basic view to list view that is displaying all control panel items at once.

When you click on the feature, you find out that it can be used to make work files available "on all devices you use, even when offline", but that is about it. Not that helpful.
