I want to be able to open a folder that is on a network drive from a website, ideally it would be the starting from this location when a users first opens the window.

Is it possible to have the shared network drive as the default location when it opens.

    The browser's filesystem API doesn't let you specify the default location of the file dialog. The user will have to navigate to the network drive by hand. – Barmar Sep 08 '22 at 21:36
  • @Barmar I thought that was the case but wanted to double check, it seems like a simple thing to achieve too. – Standage Sep 08 '22 at 21:39
  • It's prohibited for security reasons. You don't want a web site tricking the user into opening files from system folders. – Barmar Sep 08 '22 at 21:44
  • Its actually from a Dynamics 365 site so it will not be public facing, it would be nice just to have the option (for internal user sites) – Standage Sep 08 '22 at 21:47

    Browser security rules are designed for the general case. There's no way for the browser to know that this is a private site that should be given more permissions. – Barmar Sep 08 '22 at 21:48
