I am looking to develop the following:
- Map a local drive letter (say, K: )
- Redirect all files/folders on the mapped drive K via my service/program. (That internally will upload/download them to/from a cloud service.)
- Files & folders on the drive K should be visible via Windows Explorer (as well Windows Open/Save file dialogs from other software) so that end-users & other software could interact with it directly as if they were local files and folders.
- If possible, support ACL permissions on files & folders on my drive K.
I was planning to use Windows Shell Name Extension. Do you think is it up for the job?
I was looking for an example too, but all I could find was a seriously old code: 1996, 2001, 2006.
So any suggestions will be appreciated.
