Allows macOS X users in an office to quickly send and open recieved locations on a shared network drive.
All IOP-specific addresses have been removed from this public repository.
To share a location, the user selects a file or folder in Finder, and clicks Services → Copy Server Location to Clipboard. This location can then be pasted into an email, Slack message, or other text based program. It will look like this:
💾⌞Office Drive → Jonathan → test → lots → of → folders → Very Important File.mp4⌟💾
Users who recieve these locations can highlight them (it's okay to be a bit sloppy), go to the top of the screen, and select [app name] (Mail, Slack, Chrome, etc) → Services → Open Location On Server.
Before use, open the workflows in automator, go to the Applescript block, and adjust all lines with a --change this comment.
The share1, share2, and share3 variables should contain the names of shares in use on your NAS.
The primaryServerAddress and secondaryServerAddress variables should contain the address(es) of your NAS. For instance, primaryServerAddress might be the server's internal IP address within the office, and secondaryServerAddress might be an address that's open to the WAN.
Once set up, copy the Quick Actions to ~/Library/Services/ on any machine or account where they will be used.
These Quick Actions have been tested on macOS 10.12 – 10.14, and are likely to work on systems as far back as 10.6.
