Link from Confluence 3.5 directly to documents on shared drive

Question

Hi, I need urgently to know how we can link from Confluence 3.5 directly to documents to the shared drive.

We want to start a test phase with Confluence and have several excel sheets on the drive with big reporting data. This sheets will be updated several times a day and a week. So we need a direct access to the shared drive not a copy in confluence of the documents.

How can I link directly to the drive? Thank you for support

Hi Jeison, I know this links and I tried different things but I am not a technician and there are several explanations that are too complicated. So no, unfortunately this page is not helpful.
