TFS 2013 Workspaces with UNC Path

Can you have TFS workspaces with UNC path as the local folder?

The answer is yes. I was able to setup the following and get latest on it:

Source Control Folder = $/My Project/TeamA/Folder B
Local Folder = \\networklocation\TeamA\Folder B

Note the names in the local folder mapping do not have to match exactly.

The security of the folder and files were assigned to me with Full control and the rest of the permissions where inherited from the parent as well.  This all assumes you have permission to write to the network location you are setting up for the workspace.  Ensure the owner has rights and test this out when setting it up.
