What I want to do is create a cloud service that comes with an application that allows the user to access the files using the apps on his computer. However, I don't want the file saved on his hard drive. Ideally, what would happen is this:
1) User moves/saves file to drive.
2) App takes data, moves it to offsite server, replaces local data with a URL that points to the actual file
3) User clicks on the "pointer" file, as he would if the data were stored locally.
4) Before the user can access the file, the app redownloads the data.
5) The file finally opens.
