Setting an external plugin directory with UNC path

I’d like to set a path to an external plugin directory - much like what was covered here in Mike Weiss’ article:

It seems that this only works with mapped drive letters and I’d like to use a UNC path in windows to a network location. Is there a way to achieve this?

Hi,

As you mentioned, unreal prefers local paths or mapped drives as UNC paths can’t be used directly.

The above can be done through using symbolic link or mapping the network drive in file explorer:
