Is it possible to create a 'link to a folder' in a SharePoint document library?

Question

Is it possible to create a shortcut to a folder in a different document library in a document library?

Answer 1

Do you mean like:

http://[server]/[site]/[ListName]/Forms/AllItems.aspx?RootFolder=%2Fsite%2FListName%2F_folder_%2F_folder1_%2F_folder11_

where _folder_ are the foldernames

Answer 2

The simplest way is to use the following pattern:

http://[server]/[site]/[ListName]/[Folder]/[SubFolder]

To place a shortcut to a document library:

1. Upload it as *.url file. However, by default, this file type is not allowed.
2. Go to you Document Library settings > Advanced Settings > Allow management of content types. Add the "Link to document" content type to a document library and paste the link
