The purpose of Attachment4act is simple. It works to redistribute your database attachments in one of two ways. First, it scans for orphaned attachments that are no longer connected to your database, but still are taking up space. These orphaned attachments are either moved to a separate directory or deleted outright. In tests on our database, we cleaned up one-third of the attachments and immediately trimmed almost 5GB's of fat.
The second is to relocate them to network share or an online public storage service called www.BackBlaze.com. In both cases, the attachments are replaced with a shortcut - a URL for BackBlaze and a UNC for a network share. Local shares obviously couldn't be accessible via the web like files stored on BackBlaze, but that isn't always a requirement for some teams.
