Sharing a Shortcut and Hyperlink in File Explorer
AztecIris How is it helping? That "Target" is
"C:\Users\username\Companyname\Sitename - Libraryname\foldername\filename.pdf"
and this username ui different in every computer.
So user have to change the beginning
"%userProfile%\U.S. Invest AS\USInvest - YHINE\US_Invest_pilv_books\Arvete nimekiri.pdf"
and sent it as link in Outlook?
Another option is to simply create a 'RootFolder' on every team members device in C:\ so that all the file paths are absolutely identical for everyone, like: "C:\RootFolder\Companyname\Sitename - Libraryname\foldername", and then change the location of the synced library to this RootFolder as opposed to the standard location within the User Profile. This means applications can share the same file path across different users devices.
Now my big question is, how can file paths like that be turned into clickable links in Teams messages so users can simply click the link to open the relevant folder directly in file explorer.
- Hi all,
I'm here looking for the same thing. We migrated our engineering folders over to the cloud hoping to streamline our workflow, but instead we are sending links to sync'd files/folders, only to be prompted to download from Sharepoint. How frustrating! Even if there was a button in the online environment to "Open from Sync'd Location" or something, that would be we helpful. Is there really no solution for this beside the techniques listed above?- It is ridiculous these links to folders cannot be turned into clickable hyperlinks in Teams. It does work in Outlook, Word, Excel, etc. so why not in Teams too?
