Vitual Path Providers in Episerver 8 (or 9)
There is no more VPP in episerver but you can use ContentProvider so that you can map a folder from a server directly into episerver:
And there is a nice blogpost about the basic from Johan Björnfot:

Hello everyone,
In my journey to migrate Episerver 6 to 8 i stumble on quite some challenges, one of them is:
In the old Episerver 6 you were able to create extra paths to access in the Media explorer. We did this by doing this:
name="EPiServerNativeTemplateThemes"
type="EPiServer.Web.Hosting.VirtualPathNativeProvider,EPiServer"
virtualName="Template Themes"
showInFileManager="true"
bypassAccessCheck="false"
indexingServiceCatalog="Web1" />
In the old site i have 6 definitions like this to folders, completely outside the website.
It worked like a charm in 6, but now i'm struggling to get it working in the new Episerver.
Can anyone help to get this part up and running? I know however that Episerver 6 had 'Starting points' in the Media tree, and i see Episerver 8 no longer has them. Ideally i would still want them, however if not possible i would still love to be able to use these virtualpaths, to access files on those locations.
Thanks in advance,
Ron
