Share Path

Share Path is a vault property that may be added to a vault folder.  This property provides vault with the location of the Revit central project files on your network.  The advantage of using the Share Path is that the Revit add-in will duplicate the folder structure of the network share inside vault.  Having the Share Path configured also removes the need for users to select the vault folder while adding files.
