"Ability to create a 'dynamic' container whose physical size (actual disk space used) grows as new data is added to it. (Dynamic containers are pre-allocated NTFS sparse files)."

Has anyone did this already? If so then how?

Don't forget the brackets: (actual disk space used)
That mneans it grows as you put more in it.
Infinite storage is too good to be true.

only on real hd

not on removable so far.

Our computers at work, at least those I do not work with, are configured so. Also our servers.

But I hate it, since access can be done only by the microsoft drivers to it, difficult to delet them sometimes etc.

So far I can not see how this should work on removable. Windows allowes only one partition and so what should grow there on a usb stick?

On harddrive , first formated as real hd, and then connected as USB one can have this, but it could have problems accessing files placed there with some restricted user when it was connected as real hd and becoming removable makes the access rights sometimes unpredictable behaviour.
