Data Source: Folder using non absolute path

Hi,

I recently learned how to get data from a folder. I was wondering if there was a way to do this without linking to my computer (not routing through an absolute file path). We are aiming to link to a seperate document management system called ProjectWise. 

 

Any information would be useful. Thanks!

Hi @Gnomie ,

 

Folder connector only supports absolute path, try to use IP address plus file path.

 

Best regards,
