Hi Cristian, is not working for me

 

I replace in "\" with "/" and every " "(space) with "%20",

 

An example:

 

file://D:/Dropbox/CONTACTOS%20&%20CLIENTES/CENACE/Reglamento%20interno%20GRUPO%20CENACE%20COLABORATIVA%20.pdf

 

nothing happens in chrome or edge nor in desktop

 

I obtained the file download option only, pasting the path like url

 

Thanks for your help
