Hi Andrew, can you try something like: https://{server}/{site}/.../{Folder}/[Record ID#] as a Formula - URL field?

My team has built custom QB connectors for similar external file storage.  This includes using a formula link to store to a directory based on the record ID.  The only thing I'm not sure about is if Sharepoint will handle the directory gracefully if it doesn't exist.
