Hello Navaneethan,

This will differ based on operating system a bit. For local drives, you can use window.open() to access file:/// + the path (on Windows, change backslash to forwardslash, e.g. file:///C:/Windows). Your application of course won't have any access to the data, but your browser can navigate to it.

For network drives, on Mac or Linux you might be able to use the smb:// protocol. I'm not positive, but your browser might also be able to access it like \\HOST\ShareName.

Hope that helps!
