Co-Authoring - linked Excel files - old data
CompletedHi everyone,
out Controlling department works with tons of Excel files, most of them linked to other Excel files
When migrating to Box the absolute paths for the linked Excel files remained.
Since activating Co-Authoring we have some issues with old files. Due to the absolute paths in the old files, Co-Authoring doesn't save as expected into cloud but gives a warning that the file is stored locally. But it doesn't properly (nowhere to be found - locally or within Box) so we had many reports on not saved files and loss of work.
Of course the perfect To-Do would be to check every file and to updates the path relations to the linked files, but there are that much files, that it's not possible to check each and every time.
Sounds familiar to someone? Any idea how to automate updating pathes in these Excel files? Or how did you solve that?
Thank you very much!
Dirk
