When a user creates or modifies a file in a Work Folders folder on any device or PC, it is replicated automatically to the corporate file server’s sync share via Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connections on port 443.Work Folders is a new role service of the File and Storage Services role and is available only in Windows Server 2012 R.Work Folders use a new synchronization protocol to synchronize corporate data to user devices from a centralized, on-premises server.More and more our staff want to use their own gadget such as smart phones and tablets to access corporate data files while out of the office. If they are working on a project together but from different locations, those files are always available and synchronized. Going back to our example about Sarah and Matthew in the Human Resources department, Matthew and Sarah could be using Work Folders so that files saved in specific locations on their workstations would be synchronized with a files server and updated. This differs from File Server or DFS Namespaces in that these are client-hosted file. The work folder will act as a host and synchronize the users’ files to this location so they can access their file from inside or outside the network. Simple way to manage files that exist on a bunch of different workstations and personal devices.
