DatAnswers Chrome Local File Opener Extension

DatAnswers is an enterprise search engine that enables users to search the organization's Varonis-monitored file systems for the data they need, providing information governance for administrators, and compliance and legal officers. DatAnswers leverages the power and security of the Varonis classification engine to index a company's data and provide relevant search results.
The results displayed in the application contain UNC links to the files that match the search criteria. Chrome’s default behavior prevents users from opening files in UNC format (that is, file://FileServer/share/filename).
This extension enables authorized DatAnswers users to open files and folders in UNC format through the DatAnswers search engine. When a link is clicked, the extension verifies whether that link is valid and generated by DatAnswers and then opens it in a new browser tab.
