I have a situation where use of a network share would be a preferable location for lots of files as opposed to portal root. Want to be able to leverage standard DNN roles for security as normal. Additionally, want to be able to handle files directly and not via DNN interface, and either not need synchronization, or be able to synchronize as the File Manager does/can.

Is there a way to accomplish this? Perhaps a 3rd party module?

Jeff,

Interesting thought - I suppose I'd have to use the absolute path as the name of the virtual directory for that to work. Then it might work for accessing with a browser. But does DNN use the http path when synchronizing folders and files? Or rather a relative physical path from the application root?

Is this something you've done? I'll give it a try but it has me curious -

Thanks. I'll let you know how it goes.
