Is simply not supported.

I have the same problem. The strange thing is that I managed to play more than once with network configuration and path mapped as a network drive. Then suddenly it doesn’t work anymore and I have to reinstall. 80 gb to occupy are not easy to find 🙂

You can move the pbo's/mods to a NAS and symlink them in.

 

How I did it:

Link NAS as a drive with a drive letter, in my case Z so I have Z:\Arma 3\Expansion as Apex DLC folder

Then create a symlink for Z:\Arma 3\Expansion into SteamApps\common\Arma 3\Expansion

Then Arma will load all the Apex DLC pbo's via the symlink, via the network drive from the NAS.

You maybe cannot do that with binaries, but with pbo's. Meaning almost all mods and the game's main content which is 99.8% of the total game size anyway.
