Hi,

I hope you're well and safe!

Unfortunately, as far as I know, it's not possible now, but it's an excellent idea!

Please submit this as a Product Feedback or Idea (If it hasn't been added already) when you have a moment.

Here's a possible workaround or workarounds
1️⃣ If you have the files in an online service, you could add the link.

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic day!

Best,

Hi @Andrée Starå! All good here, hope you are too!

I don't think that will work, but I appreciate the help as always. Thank you! 😍

Happy to help!

Excellent, and yes, same here!

Are you on PC or Mac? It might be possible to use a "plug-in" on Mac that can create symbolic links (I think it's called). There might be something similar on PC as well.

Is that an option?

I'm on a PC, but I've googled it. I think it's a bit too advanced for me from looking at it, and Microsoft warns "Symbolic links can expose security vulnerabilities in applications that aren't designed to handle them." (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-10/security/threat-protection/security-policy-settings/create-symbolic-links)

Ok. Yes, it seems advanced, but I think it's simpler and more secure on a Mac.
