Local Folders vs. Buzzsaw folders

How does the project folder structure on Buzzsaw coordinate with a local
network folder structure? My local folder structure is different than the
one I created on Buzzsaw, but I noticed under my Program Files folder I have
two buzzsaw folders: Buzzsaw.com and Buzzsaw.com ProjectPoint. Are only
temporary files located here while I work on Buzzsaw? Is there something I
should know about coordinating my Buzzsaw folders with my local network
folders? I DID notice the "update" feature, where Buzzsaw seems to remember
the last location the file was uploaded from, which is GREAT!
Thanks ahead of time for any feedback!

When you download files, they typically go to "c:\program files\buzzsaw.com
ProjectPoint\work\projectpoint.buzzsaw.com\sitename" where sitename is your
own site name. The folder structure under site name will reflect the folder
structure on the site. The exception to this rule is for any files where you
have what we call a "working path" relationship. The working path is how
ProjectPoint remembers where you uploaded a file from so that update works
as you like it. Here's an example:

Suppose my site looks like:

Project1
Folder1
File1.doc
File2.dwg
Folder2
File3.dwf

Let's say I was the one who uploaded File2.dwg from my c:\temp directory. If
I download Project1, I would get the latest copy of each file placed on my
local computer at:

c:\program files\buzzsaw.com
ProjectPoint\work\projectpoint.buzzsaw.com\sitename\project1\folder1\file1.d
oc
c:\temp\file2.dwg
c:\program files\buzzsaw.com
ProjectPoint\work\projectpoint.buzzsaw.com\sitename\project1\folder2\file3.d

Hope this helps. Thanks for the question.
