Description

Hi. I have managed to install winapps and its working great. Now, I am trying to open a file stored in a separate partition. However, the VM has no access to it.

I get the following error in Ms Words " Sorry, we couldn't find "\\media\Storage\..........."

Any guide available on how to set this up?

Thank you very much

P.s. if i can get it to open networked files (gdrive) it would be great too

Research direction

Start by checking the winapps documentation and configuration guidance for exposing host files to the VM, using the reported \\media\Storage path as the reproduction case. Done means documenting how to open files from the separate NTFS partition and noting whether networked Google Drive files are supported.
