    I was able to find a work around using some HTML code. If you insert a hyperlink in the New Outlook, for web address type "File:///" + you file path the link will work for people you send it too as long as their drives are named the same as yours.

    Eg. File:///M:/SomeFolder

    Hi Mason,

    Thanks for this oldie-but-goodie reminder. Note for those using this technique:

    • Right-click and Open Link. (The standard CTRL+ didn't work for me.)
    • Bypass the Microsoft error message that a link to your own Microsoft Enterprise network is unsafe. (!) Click Yes to open link.
    • The link is use-able either way the path is typed: File:///Y:/Folder OR File:///Y:\Folder

    How has this not been implement yet? This is something that plays a day to day in my professional work, and can be quite frustrating having to swap back and forth. Whats the point of creating a new version with SO MANY features missing. Great way to tick off your consumer base.
