Paul, Does using SharePoint synch button on a library physically copy the entire library to the local PC?
Yes - as far as I know it will copy the entire library to the local machine for offline use. Dumping of files into the same path will cause OneDrive for Business upload them in the background. I find this feature very handy. Can I specify a UNC path to a remote server using FILESTREAM? >From my understanding, the FILESTREAM feature of SQL server is an >implementation (not the only one) of the BLOB storage API in SharePoint. A >document library in a content database with FILESTREAM enabled behaves no >differently from a user point of view. While you can see the filesystem that >SQL uses to store the BLOBs, you can't/shouldn't make changes to that >filesystem. Mapping of UNC paths would continue to work the same way it does >for all document libraries (via WebDAV) using open in explorer mode ribbon >button or using the connect to website feature in the map drive dialog.

My understanding is they want to a way to easily access or dump files (when offline) for these types of files. · Does using SharePoint synch button on a library physically copy the entire library to the local PC? · Can I specify a UNC path to a remote server using FILESTREAM?

I have terabytes worth of CAD files and other types that are simply not suitable to storing in a DB. I want to provide a Document Library view of this location and provide basic read/write (upload) functionality. Would my best option be a custom BCS connector that interacts with the file system directly?
