In a nutshell, yes.

In practice this will probably require disconnecting the existing network drive then reconnecting it to Alfresco on each desktop PC. There are ways to transparently swap a network drive for Alfresco but they're more involved and the timing of some of the steps can be difficult, depending on the size of your installalation.
