witness fileshare

newbee question

we use witness with fileshare - where can I find the replicated
files/directorys?

on my share I find it - but not on my node1 and node2?

Your file share witness doesn't get replicated to all the nodes. It's
just used as a third witness since Majority Node Set Clusters will have
a witness for when the communication link between the two cluster nodes
go down so there's no split-brain syndrome. The witness knows which is
control of cluster resources and because of this, if the communication
link were to fail between the cluster nodes, you wouldn't have a split
brain syndrome where the passive tries to take control of the resources
because it still communicates with the file share witness and sees it's
not supposed to have control of the resources.

This link provides some pretty good detail (search for the File Share
Witness section):
