Description
### What's the Problem?
A Windows feature named [Work Folders] has been introduced since the release of Windows 8, and can be hosted by Windows Server 2012 or later versions, which have [File and Storage Services] Server Role installed. It will appears in Windows Explorer's sidebar below [Desktop] section when configured in Control Panel or enabled by the domain's GPO which the device joined, and it works just like OneDrive or any other cloud drive provider. It seems not currently supported by Files version 2.1.5.0.




### Solution/Idea
May we have Work Folders integration added, or to propose any other solution to manually handle this.
### Alternatives

Research direction
The issue names no source file, test, or entry point. Start by identifying how Files could discover and expose Windows Work Folders, then determine the supported integration scope and a way to verify that a configured Work Folders location appears and behaves correctly in the file manager.
