How to read the file from sharepoint location in workflow?

[SudhaGupta1]

I tried by syncing sharepoint to my desktop but workflow has to be run by many. Location for input file can't be personal desktop, it has to be shared drive location.

Look at getting everyone to sync, and then use relative paths: How To: Use Relative Paths (alteryx.com) and File Paths and Alteryx are helpful.

Thanks @alexnajm , I tried as you suggested, but relative path is looking to the folder where my alteryx workflow is saved.  Please suggest.

That’s correct, and as long as the people have access to that same folder, they should be able to run it too

Okay, but my input file is not saved in the same location. It's sharepoint file, I have synced it to my desktop. workflow is saved in to shared drive location.

Then you can look at the SharePoint Input tool and connect to the SharePoint file - you should be able to use the same connection as long as they open the same workflow.

Otherwise I would look to move it off SharePoint and on your shared drive - that would be better overall. You can then use UNC pathing
