I think you included the output as an asset when you uploaded to the server.

Under Manage Workflow Assets, uncheck the option to include the output.

Got it working :-) 

If my local pc has a shared network drive, and I assign the same drive to the server - can I ref. it by using drive letter? 

Because it does not work out of the box?

@Hamder83 :

 

I think you could have the same drive letter assigned to your PC and the server and it would work.  You should test to confirm.

 

In my opinion, UNC paths are better.
