New Edge: How to unblock specific file types in specific locations
- To elaborate on this a little bit, Edge (and Chromium-based browsers) block link navigation to file:// URLs from pages loaded over HTTP/HTTPS.
If you copy/paste the file URL to the address bar, or if you click on the link from a page loaded from another file:// URL, it should work just fine.

Many thanks for the responses to this. It is now clear that the correct way forward would be to set a group policies for those sites that we internally deem safe. And if not the workaround provided by Eric_Lawrence is the best option.
Thanks and have a nice day,

StigJ Still don't see a post on how to fix the external links issue with a domain.

SHammel980 I'm not sure what "External links issue" you mean specifically. Perhaps you're asking about the upcoming Edge 95 policy (not yet released) to allow configuration of navigation to file:// URIs from Edge?
Eric_Lawrence Yes, we are running into multiple issues using Edge with internal file shares and servers. Hoping this update will correct the issue.
If not what can a company domain too manage this issue?- Eric_Lawrence
SHammel980 I'm afraid it's hard to understand what yo umean by "multiple issues", "Internal file shares and servers", or why you've linked to the HTTP authentication policy documentation.
This thread (and my post regarding changes coming to Edge 95) concerns the use of file:// URIs in the browser. It does not apply to HTTP/HTTPS urls.
Can you please be precise about what URLs you're using and what problems you're having?
