Diskover: Search with a Path

You can paste a full path directly into the search bar to immediately look inside that location. This is especially helpful when someone asks you to check a specific folder or file path. If a co-worker sends you a path to investigate, simply paste it into the search bar to view the contents.

Using Paths from Different Operating Systems

If a co-worker uses a different operating system, their path may not match yours exactly. For example, Windows, macOS, and Linux paths use different separators and structures.

  • Windows: \\server\share\folder

  • macOS & Linux: /mnt/share/folder

To avoid guesswork, the simplest solution is to ask them to use the share → share results URL feature, so all you have to do is click on a link.
