Open share folder or print server under asp.net website using Edge

Question

Now we tried but failed to open the link of share folder(for example:file://servername/folder/) or print server under asp.net website using Edge or Chrome.
Note: Formerly it works under IE, but since IE will fade out without maintenance, so we have to replace it by other browsers.
Please kindly guide how to let it work. Thanks!

Hi @TracyLiang ,

Based on your description, Do you want to allow intranet zone file URL links from Microsoft Edge to open in windows file explorer? If this is the case, you need to configure this policy: Microsoft Edge Policies - IntranetFileLinksEnabled. If you disable or don't configure this policy, file URL links will not open.

Also you need to note that https://localhost/ is specifically blocked as an exception for allowed intranet zone hosts, while loopback addresses (127.0.0.*, [::1]) are treated as internet zone by default, and this policy works in Edge version 95 or later, you can check it.

Regards,
Xudong Peng
