Hi,

I am developing one page in SharePoint and in that I want to open the folder structure which is available in our central location(network drive). How can I add all the path in SharePoint list so that after clicking it will open that particular folder.

Thanks

Hi,
Tried 2-3 ways but no luck :(

I think its not possible for SharePoint online

Below is the link I found

Now finding any work around for it.

Please any one let me know how I can do this?

tried to add network location using summary links. It allowed to add link as below file://foldername/folder1/folder2 but after clicking on it it is not redirecting to that particular location.

Can you please try by adding "Summary Links" webpart, available under "Content Rollup" category?

yes I have done same thing.
But when I am adding links to the list it is not opening that particular location. I am adding file:// and then the path of the folders. but it is not opening.

Create a links list.
Add all locations as a link to the list
On the SharePoint page, add list view webpart for links
