Click the + icon in the app to add a new link. The entered links will be associated with the currently selected item.
Copy the required link or file path and paste it into the URL text field, then press Enter. Update the description field if required.

You can open the link directly or open its parent folder (for file or folder paths) using the two open buttons in each link row.

Troubleshooting

Below are common error messages and how to resolve them:

File or folder not found.

The desktop connector app cannot locate the file or folder you are trying to open. Please copy the URL and paste it into the File Explorer address bar to manually check whether the file or folder exists on your local machine. If you are certain that the path is correct, please contact support@viskode.com .
Connection to the Desktop Connector failed.

Most of the time, this means the desktop application is not running. Simply start the desktop application and try again. If the app is already running and you still see this message, click the Reset Connection button (in the desktop application) to reinitialize the configurations required for the app on monday to communicate with the desktop app. Then try again. If resetting doesn’t solve the issue, please contact us.
Access restricted: the desktop application cannot open this folder or file type due to security settings.

You are trying to open a file or folder located in a restricted directory, such as the operating system installation directory, or attempting to open a restricted file type, such as an executable file. These restrictions have been added to the desktop application to ensure maximum security.
You can allow additional file types by clicking the Settings button on the desktop connector. This will open a web page listing all allowed file extensions, where you can add more if needed. Any updates made on that page will be saved directly to the desktop connector. Please add only the necessary file extensions.
Connected to the desktop app, but the command was refused.

Click the "Reset Connection" button (in the desktop application) to reinitialize the configurations and try again. If resetting doesn’t resolve the issue, please contact us.
