Network Files Widget

The Network Files widget allows you to add access to a network share to a site.

The aim of this guide is to introduce you to:

Network Files Widget

 

The Shared folder is displayed in the widget and can be browsed and interacted with through this widget.

A user's access to the contents of the share are determined by the permissions their account on the network holds.

For example, the root of a share may contain several subfolders that are not appropriate to all users. Using the Choose a folder option, the Network files widget in question could be configured to show only the contents of a subfolder with no way of navigating back up the folder structure.

If you wish to replace the title that is displayed in the Network files widget with a heading of your own choice, enter it here.
