Error: Not able to upload documents
Scenario
You may see the following error message when uploading email to GoFileRoom directly from Microsoft Outlook using the GoFileRoom toolbar in Outlook.
Error message
Not able to upload documents…
Error in getting the network path…
Cause
The GoFileRoom Outlook add-in saves the file that's to be uploaded to a GoFileRoom Upload Documents shared network location. In most instances, this shared location will be a central location and can be accessed via a universal naming convention (UNC) path assigned in the Locations tab of the Manage Configurations screen in the Administration section of GoFileRoom and retrieved from the GoFileRoom servers. If the user's password for GoFileRoom contains a restricted character (& or < or >), the request to obtain this path from the server will fail.Solutions
Change the user's GoFileRoom password
Change the user's GoFileRoom password to remove any of the restricted characters.
Modify registry manually
You can manually update the registry to add the UNC path to the document upload location.
