linking confluence to an outsider folder

[Alice Ferrari]

Hi there,

Sorry just a question I cannot found answer to..

Is there a way I can link a page to a certain shared folder?

Thanks

You can use this format to link to a shared network folder, file://///unc/path/to/folder/. Note that only IE/MS Edge will automatically open the link. For Chrome or Firefox you need an additional plugin for it to work. I found these ones when my users asked about it:

Chrome:  https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/locallinks/jllpkdkcdjndhggodimiphkghogcpida   This plugin only works in non-incognito mode.

Firefox:  https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/noscript/?src=search, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/locallink/

Chrome/FF users can also right-click the link to copy it and then paste it into an Explorer window.
