Indexed Network drive as a document library content

Question

I have indexed a drive that I would like to make its content directly visible in a document library.

Exemples:

Shared drive/sales content should appear in Sharepoint/sales/document library

Hope I was clear.

Answer 1

You can't really do that.

Best options are to use a page viewer web part, pointed to your network share to make it appear as if the files are in SharePoint or create a search result that combines your external share and your document library content into a single result source and make it available via search results web parts.
