About Parallel-Bridge for Chrome
Lets you open file-share links on intranet pages (`file://` or `\\server\share` paths) in File Explorer with one click.
**Requires the free Windows app "Parallel-Bridge" from the Microsoft Store.**
This extension converts the links on the page; the Windows app is what actually opens the folder.
How to use
1. Install "Parallel-Bridge" from the Microsoft Store
2. Open your intranet site and choose "Enable on this site" from the toolbar icon
3. Click a file-share link
Privacy
- Runs only on sites you enable
- Paths are handed only to the Parallel-Bridge app on your PC
- No data sent to servers, no ads, no analytics
