Unable to write Excel file to Share directory on Scheduler

I have a workflow that is supposed to output an Excel file to our share directory.

When I run this directly from the designer, it runs perfectly, but when I schedule the same workflow I get the following error at run-time

 

Error: Tool #33: Unable to Open archive for zipping: X:\xxx\xxx 2018_08_06.xlsx Error Opening file: X:\xxx\xxx 2018_08_06.xlsx
: The system cannot find the path specified.

Can anyone help?

Alteryx support was able to help out with this.

Since I was using a formula to generate the filepath, I wasn't using the UNC scheme.

I changed that and the issue was resolved.
