In one example embodiment, a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon computer executable program code which, when executed on a computer system, causes the computer system to perform a number of steps. The steps include receiving, at an application server, metadata representing at least one file system stored on a file storage system based on an application executing on the application server, preventing, at the application server, files associated with the file storage system from being downloaded to the application server, monitoring, by the application server, a request to open a file associated with the file storage system, determining the requested file is stored on the file storage system separate from the application server, and triggering, by the application server, a download of the requested file.
