How do I link to local folders/files?

To improve your workflow, you can add bookmarks to any local folder or file on your computer. 

Instructions:

1. First, make sure you have installed our Chrome extension. Without the extension it's not possible to link to local files or folders.
2. Locate the Bookmarks widget or Bookmark group you want to add the link to and click the Add content icon (+ sign).
3. In the URL field, type in the following prefix: file:/// You use the same prefix for files and folders.
4. Add the local location of the file you want to link to.
5. Click Add to confirm

Some example links:

• file:///C:/Folder1/Folder2/Folder3/
• file:///C:/Folder1/Folder2/Folder3/filename.txt
• chrome://extensions

Note: start.me does not save the contents of your local file, only the destination. If you use start.me on another computer or device, you will lose access.
