Network Shares in SharePoint

How do I share network shares in SharePoint? 

Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.
My all-time favorite SharePoint line, thx Gerald.

But since I get this question quite often, here are some quick solutions built using OOTB and third party tools.

Option #1 – Web Part

Page Viewer Web Part works with IE only. (10)

After adding the web part then edit and add a folder link

file://\\server\share

Note you might need to work with the appearance options to get what you need.

Option #2 - Link Library

Page Viewer Web Part works with IE only. (10)

Second option is to add a link library with a link to

file://///server/share

Results in a pop up window with your share.
