Paul, Have you considered using FILESTREAM storage on the SQL server for storing the files as files, while still keeping the benefits of housing them in a SharePoint document library?
Cheers, James. ________________________________ James Boman ■ Phone: +61872001100<callto:+61872001100> ■ Mobile: +61417857298<callto:+61417857298> ■ Skype: JDBoman<callto:JDBoman> ■ Web: www.ipmo.com.au<http://www.ipmo.com.au/> From: ozmoss-boun...@ozmoss.com [mailto:ozmoss-boun...@ozmoss.com] On Behalf Of Paul Noone Sent: Monday, 18 August 2014 9:56 AM To: ozMOSS Subject: Use a newtwork share as the source for a document library Hi all, Has anyone successfully achieved this? 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?
