I have been asked by one of the sharepoint consultant, as how can we provide access to the files in file share without actually uploading the files into the sharepoint. So I thought of writing a blog so that it will be helpful for others
Step 1: Edit page where you want to provide the functionality
Step 2: Choose Page Viewer Web Part
Step 3: Select File option from radio button and provide the path of the file share
Step 4: You can change the Title and size of the web part,
Now you should be able to get to the files in file share without uploading into sharepoint
