How to use the Desktop App converter (Desktop Bridge)

Just started on the process of converting my app to the windows store.
Having some hard time trying to figure out how to use the desktop app converter when the program comes in a zip package with additional files that needs to be included (Not just the EXE)
What i mean is typically speaking the users would download the zip file from the website and then extract it and run the EXE file. However in that zip file there's things like Drivers and Languages, I suppose i can make an MSI but i wanted to see if this was possible.
Anyone knows a way to just convert the ZIP file using the desktop app converter?
Thank you!
The Desktop App Converter has an option to create a Windows App Package (.appx) from a regular folder. So you just need to unzip your ZIP file and point the DAC at the folder, specifying what EXE should be the entry point: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/porting/desktop-to-uwp-run-desktop-app-converter#no-installer-conversion - note however, that you can't deploy drivers with a Windows App Package (.appx).

Samba Share directory outside user directory

I set up a machine with Ubuntu 14.4.1 yesterday and I am trying to use it as remote storage for a project I am working on remotely with a few people. I know nothing about hosting servers, so I am attempting to avoid the issue entirely by just treating it like a local area network using Hamachi.
The Ubuntu machine has 2 hard drives - a boot drive on which Linux is installed and a larger data drive. I am attempting to share a directory on the data drive via samba so that it can be accessed via Hamachi by windows 7 machines.
I am able to see the directories that I have shared, but when I try to enter them, I get a permission denied error. When I share a directory within my /home/user/ directory, it works fine. Is there any way that I can share a directory on my data drive?
Perhaps I could make a symbolic link from my user directory to the data drive? Would that actually work? I am not familiar.
If it is NTFS, you can't change the permissions, which will be the issue.

If Internet is also available on all devices, you can go for a ready made solution of Google Drive, It will sync automatically.. But the Company IT policy could be a Constraint

How do I log on to my school network from my internet network at my house?

Is there a way I can access network drives on the school network from my home.
You can create a VPN, and then use Windows Remote Desktop to log on. Or, another simple solution, install Dropbox, and there's an addon for it to automatically run scripts that you put in a directory, and your scripts can copy that resource into the dropbox folder, which is automatically sycned with your account.

Disk IO Performance Limitations based on numbers of folders/files

I have an application where users are allowed to upload images to the server. Our Web Server is a windows 2008 server and we have a site (images.mysite.com) that points to a shared drive on a unix box.
The code used to do the uploading is C# 3.5.
The system currently supports a workflow where after a threshold is met a new subfolder can be generated. The question we have is how many files and/or subfolders can you have in a single folder before there is a degredation in performance - in serving the images up through IIS 7 and reading/writing through code?
We had a site which hit 350,000 image files in a single directory. The site operates just fine serving those images. The problem comes in when you try to view that directory in Explorer. Explorer is interested in sharing with you more than the file name; it wants to show you an icon, and other properties such as image size which it has to obtain by reading the file itself.
The subfolders are more a convenience for the administrative individuals that have to manage those resources.
You may want to set a file count threshold parameter starting at about 10K per folder and tune it up based on how well that folder can be navigated in Explorer.
