    Modern browsers do not support the file:// protocol on web pages for security reasons.

    Hi @Mike Mazzie ,

    In SharePoint online modern experience, we could use Text web part to insert a link as file://[folder link] format to the network drive then re-publish the page.(Please note this only works in IE browser.)

    -----------------------------------Update---------------------------------------

    Sorry to confuse you, please use file:// rather than File://.

    Since mapping a network drive uses WebDav which missed in Chrome,so Chrome doesn't work.
