Is it possible to give a local folder an arbitrary network path?

There are two networks, 192.168.200.0 and 192.168.100.0. They are connected to each other via VPN.
From network 100, you need to be able to access a folder inside network 200, this works through a VPN, but it's slow.

Is it possible to create a local folder that lies inside the 192.168.100.0 network but is accessible from the 192.168.100.0 network at the 192.168.200.0 network address?

Those. make a folder inside the Windows computer that will be accessible via any network path that can be attached to it and that the network path is not inside the local network of this computer. And that this routing rule was a priority.

Those. it must be such a local copy of the network folder, accessible from the computer at the same address as the network folder. I know Windows has offline files for network locations, but they don't work as well as I would like.

To solve problems with data access through slow channels, you can use:
1. Branchcache (in server or serverless mode)
2. DFS\DSF-R

In general, folders are referred to by name.
What prevents to resolve a name in the necessary address?
make a folder inside the Windows computer that will be accessible via any network path that can be attached to it and that the network path is not inside the local network of this computer. And that this routing rule was a priority.
And if you express your thoughts in a normal way?
This is some kind of unreadable mess.
there must be such a local copy of the network folder, accessible from the computer at the same address as the network folder
With the help of the name, you can redirect traffic anywhere, to any IP address.
But why make a local folder, I honestly don’t understand - how will you synchronize it with the main one?
As normal - configure branchcache and no problems with a narrow channel, and bikes with duplicating folders.

You describe the problem very chaotically:
Is it possible to make a folder on a network device on the network 192.168.100.0 (probably /24 ) available at 192.168.200.0.
Yes, you can, there are several ways, the first is nat for a specific address and vice versa, the second is simply to place a device on the 192.168.100.0 network with an address from the 192.168.200.0 network and correctly register the routing on the router.
Is it possible to make remote folder with slow channel faster.
Yes, you can, there are also several ways, all of them are tied to caching.
1. Offline folders.
2. BranchCache (requires a serious and expensive win infrastructure)
3. Synchronization of storages, the protocol depends on what the storages support.
Whether it is necessary to do all this at all is a very big question.
If the folders are not replicated with each other, you probably need two different paths, otherwise you will have the same files available on the same path will have different versions, this is very "important" and can have many undesirable consequences that are extremely difficult debug.

In the event of the Internet disappearing, we will have different versions of the files ...
Maybe then we can raise the cloud storage? The same nextcloud can be started very quickly ... it will synchronize both folders for you

A handy tool for synchronizing folders between computers https://syncthing.net
I have been using it for several years, excellent results.
It is only necessary to turn off monitoring of folder changes if there are a lot of files in it, otherwise it will slow down.
