FilesystemWatcher on a Sharepoint 2013 library mapped to a network drive

I am working on this project for my organization in which we want to launch certain programs / code block whenever a specific file is uploaded to a sharepoint library. We are trying to do this in c#. We have sucesfully mapped the library to a network drive using its UNC path.

From the program written in c# I can access the content of this library using the file and directory object. however when i try to place a filesystemwatcher on the network drive no events get fired at all, tried to do the same thing in another network drive linked to our corporate file storage, worked like a charm.

Is it at all possible to place a filesystem watcher on an microsoft sharepoint 2013 library ? Finding it very strange that file and directory objects work fine but the filesystemwatcher doesnt give a kick.

With kind regards,
