C# OneDrive like extention to Windows Explorer
I found this question/solution related to programming OneDrive like extention:
Creating a special folder in Windows Explorer like DropBox or OneDrive
Is it possible to do it in a way that files don't use up local disk space (like they do in OneDrive)? So to have them displayed just by syncing headers/properties and actually downloading the whole file from the cloud when user wants to read/edit it?
*goal: a cloud (shared drive) solution with several TBs in capacity. If files were to be synced then it's no use on laptops (limitation with SSD size)...

Yes it's possible, but almost not documented. Have a look at this product who exposes two Windows low level APIs: "Files On Demand" and "ProjFS" (Projected File System, used by Microsoft to connect to huge++ github repos): shellboost.com/Doc/Introduction/Files-On-Demand (disclaimer: I work for the company who sells them). Note that AFAIK dropbox doesn't uses these API, only OneDrive as of today.

Not that I know of. And as of today, this is also the only commercial product that has this :-)
