Building and customizing solutions using Microsoft 365 Copilot APIs and tools
To open a file located at a sandbox path, you typically need to ensure that the application you are using supports accessing files from that specific sandbox environment. In the context of Windows Sandbox, files must be explicitly installed or copied into the sandbox environment to be accessible. Since Windows Sandbox is a temporary and isolated environment, you cannot directly access files from the host system or other locations without first placing them inside the sandbox.
If you want to use the PDF file in the sandbox, you would need to:
- Launch Windows Sandbox.
- Copy the PDF file into the sandbox environment.
- Use a PDF reader application within the sandbox to open the file.
This way, you can safely view and interact with the PDF file without affecting your host system.
