Browser Tool not available on the web

I have used the browser tool with the directory and action tool but noted that the browser tool doesn't work on web.

 

I want to update the directory each time with the browser tool. Tried using the text tool as an alternative but it doesn't seem to update the directory tool based on the text input tool.

Is there a way around this or am i doing something wrongly?

 

SOS. 

 

Thank you!

By web you mean the Server right?

 

The path you’re calling is on your local drive? If it’s local, then there’s no way for the server to call from your computer. It’s not connected that way. 

Unless you’re connected to a share folder, then you can use that path. If you’re on a share folder, then is your action tool configured correctly? 

Can you send a screen snip of your workflow and action tool config?

Thanks for sending over the image via PM. You’ll need to follow the steps to change the entire path up until the directory level only via the Action tool. It should work like that. 

 

If it helps, kindly mark as accepted solution.
