hi,
I'm a rookie and all my files are stored in a server but I can't use any mapped drives.
Do you know any way to use mapped drive letters in Inkscape other than writing full network address?

Welcome to the forum!

I'm not sure if I clearly understand what you're asking.  Most of the time, I would expect you'd want to use SSH and/or SFTP to upload/download to the server.  I don't really know if Inkscape is capable of locating a web or IP address from the Open or Save As dialogs.  I would think not.  If it's possible, I would think the commandline would be the most likely way to access it.  But I still doubt it.  Although I could be wrong.

On the face of it though, it doesn't sound safe.

Can you explain a little more what your setup is?  Why can't you download your Inkscape files to your computer, or a usb drive, or something like that?
