Hi @varun511 ,

We had a lot of issues using network files when we first started using Server. Here is a write-up I put together once we figured out what we were doing:

Reading / Writing to Network Folders with Alteryx Server

In your scenario, you will not want to check the box under manage workflow assets. This will create a copy of your original file when you save it to Server and will break the link to your original file. I would double check that the "user" that was set up to run your workflows in Server has access to the folder where the original file is saved.
