Opening files and folders in File Manager from a web browser

Overview

By default, file previews and folders in your digital workplace have an Open File Manager button that you can select to open the object's location in File Manager. To use this button, you must already have File Manager installed on your device and you will need to authenticate with your digital workplace through File Manager.

Workplace administrators can toggle whether this option is available across the entire digital workplace.
