I am affected of #5024 but I'm pretty sure I don't have a server-sided user profile since I use a local account on Win 10 Pro. |
@scottnonnenberg-signal Sure this isn't primarily a bug? |
We've previously made the decision to disallow access to network shares for security reasons. And you're asking for a new feature to work around that limitation. |

Bug Description
This is a merge ticket for issue #5332, #5104, #5024! I apologize for this unnecessary confusion.
Reason is, that these three tickets problaby tells the same root cause.
(MS Windows server-sided userprofiles and folder redirection).
This leads in following errors:
Warning: denying request to non-absolute path 'omain.local\dfs_shares\userdata\username\Anwendungsdaten\Signal[ Beta]\drafts.noindex
Warning: denying request to non-absolute path 'omain.local\dfs_shares\userdata\username\Anwendungsdaten\Signal[ Beta]\attachments.noindex...
Note
The correct UNC path would be btw.
\\domain.local\dfs_shares\userdata\username\Anwendungsdaten\Signal Beta\attachments.noindex..
. This should point out that\\d
is omitted from the path.The next curious thing is, that if you receive an image/video you could see that image/video preview while downloading, but after the download has finished the above error occurs and the image is not viewable. (pls see screenshots + screencast) to get this behaviour right.
A possible solution could be to move the signal appdata to
%localappdata%\Signal
if%appdata%\Signal
is on an UNC pathSteps to Reproduce
%appdata%
to (in german)\\domain.local\dfs_shares\userdata\username\Anwendungsdaten\
, and%localappdata%
toC:\Users\username\AppData\Local
Actual Result:
See screencasts
Expected Result:
Images and videos are viewable in signal (without saving first).
