Hello,

I have a network drive at `\\apps\shares\QMS_Documents` which we _think_ has the correct permissions for the (Linux) gateway to access. In the directory are many .pdfs such as `0000d4b5-ba48-4c11-9ee0-51dbd003ce65.pdf`. I mounted it from WebDev as a "New Mounted Folder" and called it test.

From a perspective page, using the PDF Viewer component, I reference the file as `/system/webdev/TrackTrace_Main/test/0000d4b5-ba48-4c11-9ee0-51dbd003ce65.pdf`

From the browser, the PDF does not load and console states HTTP 404.

Any help is appreciated. I reviewed forum posts #41192 and #52487 but didn't have luck.

Thanks,

This doesn't look like a path you'd see on a Linux system. Are you sure about this being mounted and its location?

Thanks, changing it to `/apps/shares/QMS_Documents` worked.
