Hello @Alberto Corominas !

As I understand, you need to place links that download files directly from a file server.

First thing I would like to address is that Internet Explorer is not supported by any of the Atlassian Cloud solutions. You can check the list of supported browsers here:

• [Atlassian Cloud] Supported Browsers

Moving further, we can see that similar requests have been made here in our Community. One of them is under this link:

• [Atlassian Community] Linking to large files on Synology NAS

This other one shows more of the reason as to why Chrome does not allow special protocols to be linked:

• [Atlassian Community] Add a link to excel file outside JIRA/Confluence

Here we have some sources that are external to our Community that talk about the new security improvements that removed this type of link:

• [Stackoverflow] Can Google Chrome open local links?

Let us hear from you!
