    I've seen this:
    https://forum.qt.io/topic/7782/qfiledialog-and-file-from-a-network

    But no solution, is there a way to be able to select other locations that are visible in explorer but not from QFileDialog ?

    I am using QFileDialog on Windows 10. It seems I can only access local resources which includes:

    My Computer
    simon.platten
    

    The second is my user folder, in a normal File Explorer I can see other resources such as the Network.

    Is it possible to enable access to use other locations in QFileDialog?

    I am using Qt 5.9.2

    Kind Regards,
    Sy

      @SPlatten
      Did you try the native Windows dialog as suggested there?
