BrowserHow to open filesHow to openVersion tested
Google Chrome

By default (and for security !), Chrome forbids the opening of urls pointing towards local files, from a web browser. There is a workaround using the open Local file extension :

Then activate the extension

The path sould like the following : C:\Users\Utilisateurs\xx\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxx.default*

2 possibilities : Either there is already a user.js file, so you need to add the following lines to the file or there is no file named user.js, in which case you need to create it and put the lines detailed above.

user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "localfilelinks");

user_pref("capability.policy.localfilelinks.sites", "https://IP_DATAFARI");

user_pref("capability.policy.localfilelinks.checkloaduri.enabled", "allAccess");

REplace https://IP_DATAFARI by the IP or the address of your Datafari.

https://IP_DATAFARI for EE edition, http://IP_DATAFARI:8080 for CE edition

You then need to copy user.js into the folder, to stop Firefox (check that the process has been killed) and restart it. The local files should open normally.
