Offline, download only USER corresponding IMAGES to save space

Hi guys.

I have a Multy-User app.

It has a LOT of Images (Up to 250mb).
but only few images correspond to each user.

I need those images to show fast so I have activated the “Store content for offline use” to have those images downloaded on the device.

I put security filter by Email, to only show user’s corresponding images, and it works.

BUT, when I open the app, It seems to be downloading all the big data.
(Actually Im not sure if it only seems to be downloading but ignores all the other users images)

Do you know what is the current behaviour of the server in this cases?
THANKS!

If I recall correctly, @Steve mentioned that the “offline use” of images mean that if your app considers that it’s connected to the internet, it downloads all images on different sizes and that’s why it shows way more images than expected on the menu saying “Downloading X of Y” or similar.

Security Filters should remove the need to download all images because a security filter define the way the data is downloaded to the device and we are talking about offline use… $2
