I have a SBS 2003 Premium running the default "Companyweb" Sharepoint site.
I also have a 5-6gb directory of documents (in various subdirs of course) on
a shared drive.

Is it possible to have Sharepoint mirror this shared directory, so that
users can access these files from the web?
I'm thinking that there might be a 3rd party web part for it, but any input
is welcome...

Best regards,

Kasper Hansen

Kasper,

I used to use SyncToy to syncronise files from a photocopier(don't
ask!) to a sharepoint library. Worked as needed.

Thanks - but how did you get SyncToy to add the files to the sharepoint
library?
Do the sharepoint libraries map to acutal folders on the server? I thought
that files were stored in the database.

Hi,

The files are stored in the database but sharepoint will handle the
interface for you. If you take a document library to Explorer View,
copy the address and paste that into the synctoy folder it will sync
files for you. Alternatively you can map a sharepoint document library
to a drive and sync with that.

Hope that helps,

David.
