Are you sure that you understand that there is no application running on the client - only the web browser. The application is running on the gateway.

If you search the forum for "shared network drive" you will find many posts such as this one.

> I am trying to save reports/files on a shared network drive. I’ve tried changing the file path to the ip address and just the G:, but i’ve had limited success. When I use the ip address directly, I don’t seem to get any errors in the logs or in the gateway, but I do not see the file present in the shared drive. Does this mean that I need some sort of authentication? access to the drive requires this but I don’t see any viable methods in ignition, and is there another way to do this?
