How Mac user can set a hyperlink with UNC path just like a Windows user?
We have some Mac users who will access to shared files on Windows 2012 file server. Usually our Windows 10 users will send a hyperlink with UNC path in the email. Mac users will not be able to access the files by just clicking on the hyperlink, they will need to open network drive that mapped on their Macbook.
Now it comes with a question...When those Mac users updated the file, say Excel, they could simply save it on the same location of network drive. But what if they save a new file to the another location on this network drive, is there a way for those Mac users to send a hyperlink in email for those Windows users to access?

I'd much appreciated if someone could share some insight on this.
Thanks!

Your Mac users will have to be smart enough to craft the full UNC path into an email.
Or... your Windows users will have to be smart enough to convert path Mac users send into a UNC path.
