NAS drive files opening in Protected View

[Mark M]

I have moved all my data over to a NAS drive and when I open a Excel or Word file it opens up in Protected Mode and need "Enable Editing" ever time. I have tried adding the location in the trusted location and also ticked the box to say allow trusted locations on my network but it still does it?

Any ideas how I can solve the issue? I assume I can remove the Protected View feature completely but not sure if that is wise or if its a good security feature to have?

Thanks

I get this and it is annoying; subbing to see the solution (hopefully)

You have to go through IE for this believe it or not. Add the UNC path to your NAS to the local intranet zone and the message should go away.
