Hi there - Im in a situation where our in-house hosted (on IIS) intranet sharepoint wiki is a hub for information company wide. the site provides links to various network folders the employees access on our LAN system. a typical link would be something like this: file://<servername>/folder
This way when the employee selects that link it will bring them directly to that location in windows file explorer.
Now that we are migrating to sharepoint online - can i modify the links somehow so that they maintain the same functionality (opening the link in file explorer). Is this even possible? i dont think sharepoint online can open network folders directly from from a client machine due to security issues. but i need a definitive answer on this.
If it is possible - how would one go about making this happen?
any links to articles or insights would be appreciated
-John
