Access Local Folder using Hyperlink

Hi,

I had a requirement to access a local file to salesforce through a hyperlink field which I have to open in browsers other that chrome.

Im seeking for a help as this requirement became critical to me.

Thankyou in advance for any kind of response.

Hi SINDHU,

You can use the below code to access the local file:

<apex:page >
    <apex:form>
        <a href="file:///D:\Abc\....\...">Local file 1</a>
    </apex:form>
</apex:page>


But due to security reasons, it is not disabled by most of the browsers. If you try to open a local file, you will get an error in 

JavaScript console.

    Not allowed to load local resource:<file path>


I hope you find the above solution helpful. If it does, please mark as Best Answer to help others too.

Thanks and Regards,

Deepali,

Thankyou for the response.
I am not abel to open the local file, no action is happening with the local file.
In between, I would like to know, whether there is any way to access local files into Salesforce through Microsoft Edge by purchasing or installing any packages. 
Help me solving this.

Regards,
Sindhu
