Duplicate file view - include files (with a promoted class) from network folder connector

Is there a way to include files (with a promoted class) from the network folder connector in a Duplicate file view?

  • I responded to you already via the support case but copying the answer here also for the benefit of others:

    M-Files calculates the MD5 checksum for promoted objects via Network Folder Connector so duplicate detection should work for them. I tested this quickly and it seemed to work in my environment: one file was a promoted object in an external folder and I stored the same file to the vault, after that I could see both files in a view which I had created for duplicates.

    This doesn't work for unmanaged objects since we don't calculate the MD5 checksum for them.
