Whenever a user creates link to a document residing in network folder, the user needs to edit the link (e.g. backslashes, prefix with file://) in order to make the link work. Is there an efficient means to allow the user to copy a link from the network
folder's address bar directly to the create link sharepoint field, where sharepoint automatically changes the link to the sharepoint link format?
For example:
C:\Public\abc\doc.txt
automatically changes to sharepoint readable format:
file:///C:/Public/abc/doc.txt
such that when user clicks on the link above it opens C:\Public\abc\doc.txt
Thank you!
