Invalid Directory when Saving to Server

[Ryan_Myers]

I created a workflow for others to use on the our Alteryx Server.  The workflow uses a Folder browse tool that will enable users to select their own folder for the workflow to run against (on their harddrive).  Currently it is pointed at my PCs harddrive.  When i go to load the workflow to the server i am getting an Invalid Directory error.  I have taken this approach several times when using File browse tools and have never encountered this same issue.

Hi @Ryan_Myers ,

When publishing a workflow to any files will need to be in a location that is accessible to the Server. From the screenshot, you can see that the filepath points to your C drive which the Server won't be able to access.

Try saving the file to a network location that the Server can access and include the UNC filepath. This post provides some more useful pointers:

As per published documentation at https://help.alteryx.com/current/designer/folder-browse-tool

The Folder Browse Interface tool is not supported for running apps in both the Alteryx Public Gallery (gallery.alteryx.com) and a Private Gallery.
