SharePoint 2013 Link to File on Network Drive Not Working

Hello,

I have a page in SharePoint 2013 that houses hyperlinks to 6 HTML files (training tutorials) housed an a Network Share Drive.

The files all launch for me perfectly but the 20 other people I have given access to cannot open the files.

This is what I have done:

1. I created a page in SharePoint
2. Created hyperlinks on the page to the 6 HTML files stored on a  Network Share Drive
3. Made sure the hyperlinks were prefaced with "File://" (no quotes)
4. Gave permissions to the Network share drive folder to the same 20 individuals who have access to the page in SharePoint

Again, the files all launch for me but no one else who has tried and they do not receive an error message.

Thank you in advance for anything assistance or guidance you can provide.

Maybe just upload the files to a document library in SharePoint and access them from there.

Good luck...
