Network Drive using directory-tree package nodejs

Question

I am trying to map a network drive using directory tree package in nodejs. It works perfectly when the files is in one of my local drives, but i have trouble acessing my network drive. I want to be able to form a json file to represent the directory tree of that drive and display this in my front end. Is this something i can do for a network drive? Here is my code

router.get('/files', function (req, res) {

    var tree = dirTree('X:/Images');
    res.send(tree);
});

My network drive is mapped to X

Answer 1

Sure, this is something you can do provided you have network access to that drive with the user running the application. Theres no implementation difference in accessing a mapped network drive and a folder on your local drive, you just need the correct permissions.

If you just ran your code you would see pretty quickly if it works.
