Thanks. After reading your answer a few times, I understand it is not possible to do what I want currently. The only 'workaround' I could think of is to add a user named [shared folder name] and have users use that name to install Work Folders instead of their user name.<br />

Not exactly practical and limiting in many ways but at least a small group can access a shared Work Folder that way. Hopefully Microsoft improves this feature soon.

I've read that you cannot include a shared folder inside a Work Folder; i.e. a Work Folder is one user specific directory - to the end user - that is isolated from the rest of the server folders including shared folders. Is this still the case in year 2015? Or is there a decent workaround?
