Connecting to network folder
I need to get data from a shared (network) folder in my company. But when I try to get data through folder path, network folders are not visible. How can I get data from network folders?
Hi Anonymous ,
lbendlin is right. Please use the full path of the server/folder - you likely have the network drive mapped to one of your local drives. It needs to be the full path, not the mapped one.
Right click this folder --> Properties --> Sharing --> use the network path:
Best Regards,

do you have problems specifying the network folder address manually? \\server\share
