I've always been a heavy user of comparison tools like Beyond Compare, which can also be integrated with Visual Studio. We've recently migrated to VSTS and I find I am unable to replicate the Beyond Compare integration with VSTS, nor can I find any comparison tool that can serve that same purpose.

Anyone have any suggestions how I can use VSTS in conjunction with a comparison tool to compare files within my source repo and my local file system in particular?

No such an extension or tool in VSTS.

You can use VSTS to source control your files and manage the builds releases etc.

Generally we need a dev client connecting to VSTS to get the sources and develop locally. Then check-in the changes back to VSTS.

The most commonly used client is Visual Studio. So you can continue to use the VS to compare the files.

Please refer to Compare folders and files for details.

You can reference my answer in another thread to integrate the Beyond Compare or ExamDiff Pro with Visual Studio.
