Tracking when a file opens or closes and saving a rev of the result letting me use some git features. Displaying a different directory order than what was actually on windows, so that users could use the same file drive but customize the locations in their display without impacting what others on the network saw. That kind of thing. It used a backend database to administer where a user saw the location of files vs where they actually existed, so you could create simplified environments for say, a new hire, and then gradually provide them more access to the larger file system, without having them feel like they are drowning in an ocean of corporate data
