Windows network path support?

[eitsupi]

Hello. Sorry if this was not the proper place to submit this issue.

I tried to read a Parquet dataset on a network drive using Parquet2.jl, but it did not work.

using FilePathsBase
using Parquet2: Dataset

ds = Dataset("//path/to/file")

Perhaps paths on Windows network drives are not supported?

Yeah, there's an open MR to support UNC paths. I don't use windows regularly, so you might want to comment on this MR https://github.com/rofinn/FilePathsBase.jl/pull/12

Fwiw, mapping a drive letter to the network location is a possible workaround (I understand it might not be applicable in all cases).
