To make sure I'm hearing you right, you want to be able to access the local file system (i.e. if you run code-server in a remote VM, and then open on your laptop, you want to access the local laptop file system)?
That is a neat feature request! I wonder how difficult it would be to implement. @code-asher what do you think?
We'll add this to the Backlog Candidates and let other folks weigh in with a 👍

I think vscode.dev does this? So maybe the code is already in place.

thank you all guys. yes, that's what I mean, it can be used by multiple users or just for a short work scene. currently code-server can be used to open local files but doesn't work for folders

currently it's vscode.dev feature only. but with some limitations, which has been mentioned by this issue: microsoft/vscode/issues/136486

Was surprised to see this didn't work when I moved to code-server. Would be a really useful feature.

Yeah, vscode.dev requires Web Extensions, that many existing extensions haven't supported yet, including ours, as they need to be implemented using browserify packages. If code-server supported the Filesystem API like vscode.dev does without requiring Web Extensions, it would be very cool.
