Launch local files files://

[agonciulea]

Hello,

I'm trying to open local files hosted in a shared folder. I'm open a local PDF in a browser if I use File://Servername/folderlocation/80005594.pdf 

but when I add this to PowerApps --Icon -- OnSelect -- Launch("file://Servername/folderlocation/80005594.pdf") nothing happens.

Does anyone know what I can do be able launch local files?

Hi @agonciulea ,

Unfortunately you cannot - Power Apps is cloud-based and the only "local" file access is adding by Attachment or Add Photo controls.
