I disagree with the AWS suggestion. It creates significant file management overhead, especially at the beginning. There could be additional costs. One would also have to have a way of keeping those files synchronized. The issue is not one of making the files easily accessible to the AR server. It’s making the AR server a convenient gateway for users to quickly locate and access certain files, instead of having to navigate through something like File Explorer in Windows.
If the AR server doesn’t have access to the file servers themselves, I don’t think that the view field would work, as the file server’s OS would deny it access. I am presuming that file security will simply be handled at the OS-level. Misi, will you need to have ARS control what different users see depending upon their group membership?

You can then just hyperlink to the files in question.

There are a lot of different permissions on the file system level, and we can not have the AR server access the file servers. I just want to have an easy way to pick a file/path (or copy/paste it) into a Remedy form, and then be able to display this as a clickable link (or have a button to open it). It would also be nice if the file could be loaded for preview in a View Field on request...
