Distinguish between Document Libraries and Subsite

Hello Team,

When I create a Subsite or create a document Library, How can I access the Document library through the network Share

If I add documents to a Document Library:

Does it create a static link or a dynamic link

How can I access the Document library through the network Share

If I create a folder structure and add document to the folders to subsite

Does it create a static link or a dynamic link

How can I access the folders in a subsite through the network Share

How can I distinguish between a sharepoint site or document library by just looking through a URL

Following links explain how a Document library can be accessed using Network Share/Windows explorer.

The Url of a Document library will conatin "Forms" in it. Example:

http://yoursite/MyDocs/Forms/AllItems.aspx

You can just map to the URL of the document library via the network share, like http://[site collection]/[site]/[document library] (skipping the forms/allitems.aspx or other system extensions). There is no way to distinguish a site from a library judging the URL alone.
