This is cumbersome and frankly, at times it is more convenient to VPN to my work PC and handle it that way when dealing with the volumes I sometimes do.

However, I never really thought about proportion, but a number perhaps all of my emails with attachments open up with the option to open the attachment as a web page visible on my system at the end of the file name.

For "undisposition" This is perfect, exactly what I needed for those pages forcing links to be downloaded instead of viewed in a new tab!

Works perfectly Using this in Edge btw just like I expected! Not the best solution, but it's an effective "patch" for now.

A browser should be able to open the file without saving if the file is already saved as in the case of this question - "The links are for local files. It'd be a mistake to assume that is the case for all programs that send or receive the file data or declare it as a core truth of computing.
