Yes, it helps to know how it could work but it isn't the solution I want because I don't want these files on my hard drive. Is there a 3rd party recommendation?

Hi Callard, if there is a third party solution, we wouldn't be able to provide any details on it. I'll leave this thread open for other users to contribute their suggestions.
