Integrate Windows Explorer function into a Dynamics CRM 2013 Form

Posted on by Ingo67 255
Hello. I have a custom entity with some fields. One field holds the Information (Path, like "//srv/knowledge/.../") abaout where to find the Documents of the specific dataset on our file server. (These are old Docs, so we do not want to store them in CRM or SharePoint, but we want to have a look at them, when neded.) Is there a way to integrate a Frame (area), where the user can directly see and access the files like you do in the Windows file Explorer (maybe through web part via SharePoint, JavaScript, web resource,...)? Best regards Ingo

    The best way to do this would be to create a simple ASP.NET application which will enable you to display and open files in specific folders on a server.

    You could then show the web app inside an iFrame in CRM.

    Hello Ben.

    Thank you for the answer.

    How would a simple ASP.NET application look like? Do you have an example?

    And how would I integrate this application in a crm for?
