I want to send emails to multiple suppliers with their respective attachments i.e excel files, the problem here is the files are stored in Sharepoint and if I give the file path it takes my computer drive path like C: /... when I send the file via email to someone
using Alteryx the file does not open because the file stored in my computer location, how can I attach all the files and send to the suppliers so they can download that and read in their systems. please help !!!
What formula should I create to get the files in the table as per the suppliers , so that I can use that as an attachment in email tool? Thanks again and Please help.

No, it isn’t the same path as your local path.
Usually Sharepoint is shared through a online link.
