Ability to Change Remote Storage Drive

[labancap]

I work for a company that has a shared network drive. This is where we store any common resources we would like our peers to access. However, the current UI only allows me to open files from the C: drive. It would be nice to give us the ability to choose a drive, even if we have to type it in ourselves.

I currently know this is possible to do because there are two workaround in which I am using, but require setup or unnecessary knowledge of how things work. You can either:

• Put the full path name in the URL (/console#remote:\networkdrive\path\to\scripts). This only works well if you are sending someone a link they can follow.
• Create a symbolic link from a directory in your C: drive that points to the remote location. This actually works extremely well, but requires you to set up the symbolic link, which is not intuitive.

This also helps those who store their files on external drives as well.
