Overview

Product summary

Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.

In Google Chrome, links to local files are disabled, unlike IE.

This extension allows you to open a link to a local file by clicking it.

[Setting]

Starting with Chrome 118 in October 2023, you will need to enable the "Allow access to file URLs" setting from the extension settings page.

This worked great for me after checking "Allow access to file URLs" as prompted when I first used it. Thank you! I mentioned it on Stack Overflow here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58607712/local-file-links-in-chrome-or-edge/78516710#78516710

I added the link ms-excel:ofv|u|file:///T:/IT/test.xlsx to a wiki page. It doesn't do anything when clicked. Copying it into the address bar throws a warning and then opens Excel with the file.

Doesn't seem to do anything. I hightly doubt it's the devs fault, I think Google is just being a**holes, but still disappointing
