  1. How do I open a One drive shared file in file explorer?


    So for work we have a folder with a lot of documents and I always was able to access it in my file explorer and upload from the file explorer.But now when I try to open the folder it just takes me to the web, I can access it like this but it is so much more convenient to be able to access it all in the file explorer. I'm using windows 11

    :)

  2. cannot open files on network shared drive

    we use kitchen design software, and store all the drawings on a separate computer (sort of like a server, as it also hosts our quickbooks company files). I have enabled all available permission settings, and i still have an issue. the program saves the drawings as *.kit files, which can be opened by double clicking them. the only way to open the file is to drag and drop it to the desktop, and then it opens. is there any way to set something up where i can double click the file in the shared folder to open the drawing? when i double click the file on the shared folder, the design program opens up but it does not load the drawing. so would this be an issue with the program, or the shared folder?

    cannot open files on network shared drive

    I have used a small handful of applications that just won't open a \\host\share\file.ext

    Annoying, but there may be a workaround, try mapping the share to a drive letter:

    In Explorer, Tools > Map network drive...

    Then choose an unused drive letter, and the shared folder.

    This will work for most programs as it'll see K:\kitchen.kit

    cannot open files on network shared drive

    Is the remote shared folder mapped? Do you have a drive letter assigned to it?
    I'd suggest calling the software developer and asking them.
