Pasting hyperlinks with spaces into Skype for business
My company uses Skype for Business (predominately on Windows 7 machines) as our primary internal instant messaging tool, and I have a problem pasting network share locations (files and folders) when the path contains 2 separate directories with a space. For example, if I try to paste
\serversharefolderfolder with spaceanother folder with spacefolder
Skype automatically tries to create a clickable link but auto-formats it to
<\serversharefolderfolder with spaceanother> folder with spacefolder
which essentially breaks the link because it is now pointing too a directory that doesn't exist or the wrong directory.
Interestingly enough, it manages to handle the space in the higher level directory, but not the lower level one. And if I paste with only 1 directory with a space, it works
\serversharefolderfolder with spacefolder
is formatted correctly as a clickable link
<\serversharefolderfolder with spacefolder>
I've tried pasted as unformatted text and preadding the < and > to create the hyperlink as pasted, wrapping link string in quotes, but nothing works since Skype autoformats the text as soon as it is pasted.
Other than removing the spaces from the directories (which often isn't possible since I don't own them), is there a reliable and simple way to paste links into Skype for Business and have it autoformat correctly?

<file:\pathwith spaces> there shouldn't be double quotes. Then it works I have tested it with "Skype for Business 2016".

\pathwith spacesalso works. The backslash at the end is needed, but the angle brackets are not. When the message is sent in Skype, it will add the angle brackets by itself.

Surround the path in quotation marks: "\FileServerMy Folder" and Skype will handle it correctly. You can even add the quotation marks after pasting it and it will still work.
