Two points to note: 1) that recommendation is for Access only. SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, and some of the larger DBMS can handle the data just fine without issues. 2) There are problems with path storage as well, permissions, things get moved, servers get renamed, and as sure as I'm sitting here, things get deleted by accident. I'm not saying it's a bad idea, I'm simply saying that one needs to look at all of the risks before deciding on a particular path.
