To Attach a directory:

Go to the files tab inside a project.  Click on the add external file button, click on the browse button and go to the subdirectory on the server.(make sure this is a shared directory that has the same drive mapping on all work stations). 

Select a file in the directory, then, type project directory name in the description field.  Overwrite the file name with the sub directory name, then backspace over the filename in the file location box, include the forward slash before the filename. Then click the update button. 

When you click the button to view, it will open the subdirectory as if you were doing it in the windows file explorer.
