We'd like to make our file cabinet more friendly without having to open and unclick each folder every time.


One idea is to be able to link to specific folders from discussions or blog posts, but I can't seem to find a way to get the url of folders -  and I missing something?


I'd also like to know if there is anyway to change the way the folders display.


thanks so much

Hi, Rebecca -


From your File Cabinet, browse to the file folder and click on it using your mouse.  Then, if you're on a PC, you can right click and choose the "Copy Link Location" option. 


When you open a new browser tab, or if you're creating a hyperlink on another open page, you can right-click again and choose "paste."  You should find that the URL of the specific folder will display (and, if you're in a new browser tab, the contents of that specific file folder will load).


If you're a Mac user, I believe you can press CTRL while clicking your mouse to give the same effect as a right click.  Maybe one of our Mac users could verify.


Currently, there are no "view" options for changing how the file folders display.

Hello All, 


I tried to link to a folder by using Rebecca's instructions and it did not work for me.


When I tried this method, I was successful:



  • Mouse over the folder that you want to link to and make note of the path that appears in the footer of the browser (see image below)Attachment.

  • Put that exact path in the url / hyperlink box

  • Repeat steps for each folder that you want to link to


 

Many thanks Val :) 


This works great.
