When you attempt to make your files and folders offline the below error appears:
Offline files (\\server\share): Unable to make file Filename available offline on \\server\share. Files of this type cannot be made available offline.
This error is usually caused when you try make one or more of the below files offline.
.db?
.ldb
.mdb

If you are experiencing the above error, it is possible that the file extensions have been removed from the list of default excluded files. The above file extensions are exluded by default.
To check or re add the extensions, please follow the below:
