Find directory of FileStream files for a column

I can locate the FileStream Folder for a database with this query:

use [db];
select [physical_name] from [sys].[database_files]  where [type_desc] = 'FILESTREAM';

However, is there a way to find the subfolder for a specific FileStream column?  (Named with a GUID).

Thanks.

I would not expect that there is. And more importantly, you should consider the FILESTREAM area to be off-limits. That is, you should access the data only through queries or OpenSqlFilestream.

Check if GetFileNamespacePath helps.
