Thanks!

Hi,

Unfortunately, no :frowning: You can place a file into Dropbox and put a Dropbox link for your file into Checkvist, or something like that. Checkvist works only with internet URLs.

Kind regards,

The best I could do in chrome is to put similar URL to the following in an item on Checkvist. It’ll automatically be made a link …

  1. file:///C:/Users/name/filename.txt
  2. file:///C:\Users\name\filename.txt

If I click either link it will just open a blank “about:blank” page.
If I drag and drop either link to title bar of chrome, it will open a blank “about:blank#blocked” page.

Only doing copy the URL via “Ctrl-C” on the item and “Ctrl-V” on the addressbar of chrome, opens the file.

However this http://www.chrome-allow-file-access-from-file.com/ have an alternative solution of launching an instance of Chrome that allows local file access. Depending on your use case that may be an acceptable technique.
