Why each option
To access files from a shared network folder while disconnected, you should make the folder available offline.
Configuring folder permissions as Read/Write only determines access levels when connected to the network; it does not enable offline access.
Making a shared folder available offline, using Windows' Offline Files feature, creates a cached copy of the network files on your local computer. This allows you to view and modify the files even when the network connection to the shared folder is unavailable, and changes will synchronize when the connection is restored.
Using 'Network and Internet' in Control Panel provides various network settings but does not directly enable offline access to specific shared folders.
Typing an IP address in Internet Explorer is for web browsing or accessing web-based network resources, not for creating offline copies of shared network files.
