That was not what I meant. If the file location is mapped to a network
share, it will not be available to the server as the path for an external
file. Use a location on a local disk and provide the absolute path.

For example:

ExternalFileAccess = d:\files

In this case, the server machine must have either an attached drive that it
recognises as drive D, or a partition on an attached drive that it
recognises as Drive D.

If drive D is mapped to a drive on another machine, it will not work.
