Jack, how is it that as a FiveWinner you’re working with SharePoint instead of building the same thing yourself using a few targeted ChatGPT prompts and a Cloudflared setup?

Best regards,

In other words, a UNC path allows you to access a resource on another computer on the same local network using a specific format:

\server\share\folder\file.extension.

Example:

Code

\myserver\documents\report.docx

Philippe,

Antonio’s solutions work, but SharePoint cannot be accessed with a simple UNC path like \server\share. It is WebDAV/HTTP-based, not a native file share. If you need DBF access, you should either sync the library locally (OneDrive/SharePoint client) or set up your own web server for direct file access.

Best regards,

Otto
