title: How can I link to a :download: file on a network drive in Sphinx?
body: <p>I'm making some project documentation for one of our hardware products. The documentation is for internal use, and it is located on a network drive:</p>
  
  <p><code>\\ourserver\projects\project1-doc</code></p>
  
  <p>The way we currently do version control, we have some folders like so:</p>
  
  <pre><code>\\ourserver\projects\project1-A
  \\ourserver\projects\project1-B
  \\ourserver\projects\project1-C
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want to be able to make a <code>:download:</code> link from the documentation to a pdf in one of those folders. Is there any way I can do a absolute path to the file? I've tried many things, for example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>:download:`schematic &lt;file://///ourserver/projects/project1-C/schematic.pdf&gt;`
  :download:`schematic //ourserver/projects/project1-C/schematic.pdf&gt;`
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but I couldn't get it to work with Sphinx. How can I link to this file?</p>
