    Hi,

    We have configured FileStream RBS for Share point databases.

    The blob store directory is D:\Blobstore.

    I want to make the Blobstore folder as shared folder.

    But when I access \\servername\Blobstore , it's showing as empty (actually the blob files exist)

    can we make filestream folder as shared folder? please advise..

    Thanks

    Hi,

    Have you check the checkbox "Enable FILESTREAM for file I/O streaming access" and "Allow remote clients to have streaming access to FILESTREAM data" in SQL Server Configuration Manager / SQL Server Service / propertie's SQL Server / FILESTREAM Tab ?

    Whoa. Do not make the Filestream store a shared folder.

    It's part of the referential data in your database and you'll end up with corruption if anything else can modify it. Even having read access presents problems as SQL Server needs to be free to delete/rename files at will. It should only be accessed through SQL Server.

    If you need to have access to files through shared folders, then you're using the wrong technology. Link to UNC paths in your application rather than storing them through the database.
