Connections to external file sources

Former Member
Former Member
Hi all,

Using "connections to external sources" in the M-Files Admin console, we have tried to configure a connection from our M-Files server to a public file folder on one of our PCs. The configuration seems to work, as the folder is presented in the M-Files client and we receive no error messages but none of the data within this location is available through the M-Files client.

Am I right in thinking that for this to work at all we will need to purchase and apply a licence for the M-Files Network Folder Connector? Or is there likely to be something I have done incorrectly with the config attached below?

Many thanks,
Pod.

    Hi Karl,

    Thanks for the advice :) Our filter is currently set to *.* and in the Set Account we have tested both the "Local system account" setting and specified users.
    At this point I believe it is more likely and issue with the smb sharing on the target PC rather than the M-Files config. I'll keep cracking at it and let you know how I go :)

    Many thanks!
