broken
Good idea, but doesn't work on Chrome Version 106.0.5249.119
Didn't work on Chrome Version 103.0.5060.114 (Official Build) (arm64). I tried several different sites/locations/string formats.
Works very well, I've been looking for something like this for years and here it is!
It is still trying to save a text file in a local folder. It should be pretty obvious that if you are opening a local folder, you already have it, so why the need to save it again ? It would be helpful to be able to tell the extension what to do with what kind of files, e.g. jpg... open in browser, txt... open in browser. mp3... run using ... program etc.
It does what it says on the tin.
Very useful in my work place, simple.
Works well, I looked at the source and its all good and safe as of 1/27/2021
wonderful!
Fixed our issue with Sharepoint opening file links.
Works as described. Good.
Works perfectly on my PCs. Thanks.
For some reason, both in Chrome and MS Edge it used to open File Explorer. Now it opens a new browser tab with a list of files. How can I change it back to open File Explorer when clicking the link?
Whenever I try to open a local url I get the following message in the console: "Not allowed to load local resource: <URL>". Has google shut this method down?
Great plugin, thanks so much. Would be perfect if it supported more symbols. I noticed that it won't support browsing folder locations if the folder name includes "#".
Was nice for a couple weeks. Now it seems to not work. Maybe Chrome changed something on last update? The setting to choose specific sites doesn't allow simple aliases for intranet sites. For example I want to tell it "http://helpdesk", but it claims that's not a valid web address.
Working well! Thanks a lot!!!

While it does open file links it downloads the file first and then opens it from the Downloads directory. I'm looking for something the opens directly from the file server share.
It works with Chrome Version 63.0.3239.132. Opens the link in a new tab which is fine.
Well, it works... But I would like to be able to configure on which websites opening links to local files is allowed. (For Microsoft web browsers you need to add those websites to the trusted websites zone. For Firefox you need to add those websites to a capability.policy.localfilelinks.checkloaduri.sites preference)
