Is there a way to create a link (i.e that dropbox will redirect to a local file on my computer if the file is synced?

I run my own web server and each web page maps to a folder. i'd like to be able to create a link on that page that opens up that folder in explorer or finder?

thanks

  • I think if you approach this problem in different way then you might be able to solve it. First, are you caching your remote files on your local file system? If yes, then why don't you change settings in your webserver to read from you local file path. `Example: www.dropbox.com/public/File1.jpeg same file on your machine: /users/me/documents/dropbox/public/File1.jpeg` – nabster Jan 02 '19 at 21:38
  • The files are only stored on my local desktop. they are not stored on the web server. – Hidden Name Jan 03 '19 at 20:45
  • As you have mentioned "I run my own web server and each web page maps to a folder." so I am assuming you are running some sort of webserver locally on your machine (aka desktop). So manipulating your local webserver to point to a particular folder (Dropbox local folder) on your local machine (aka desktop) should be trivial, if that's the route you want to take. – nabster Jan 03 '19 at 22:01
  • No. The web server is up in the cloud(AWS) so that multiple people can connect to it. – Hidden Name Jan 03 '19 at 22:02
