Workflow and Macros in shared folder

I have a workflow that I share with other users in a shared folder from the company and it references some macros, which are in the same folder. The macros are all indexed with relative paths (so that the fact the shared folder is in G drive for me and a H drive for other user is not an issue), yet, when one of the other users opens the workflow, it does not find the macros (? toolbox). When I open it, it works perfectly. Does anyone has any idea of what might be happening? I even checked the .xml and the relative paths is nicely set there.

SOLUTION:

In case someone runs into the issue, the problem was due to the fact the macros were created in a newer version of Alteryx than the ones the users had access to. Opening the .yxmc in a test editor and changing the verion in there for an older version solved the issue.

Example:

From

<AlteryxDocument yxmdVer="2020.1">

<AlteryxDocument yxmdVer="2019.1">

Are you sure the other users created the Macros path to the shared folder in their User settings?

Alternatively, export the workflow with macro to yxzp package and let them import the workflow with the macro.

Also tried setting the macros folder, but that did't affect at all the issue.
