I uploaded Excel files from an external drive to SharePoint document library. The hyperlinks in the Excel spreadsheet works fine in my local, I can open the links. However, when I uploaded it in SharePoint and click on the link it gave me this error:

Unable to open. The internet site reports could not be found (http/1.0 404)

I checked the hyperlink and it is changed from "file://\Apps\share1\file.docx " to "http://servername/share/file.docs" Any ideas please to resolve the issue?

  • This is not working. After above configuration setting is temporary only. It's getting reset when the document is closed. Even it's not working when uploading the file when opened as well. Any other solution?

I think it is the SharePoint Publishing feature that takes hold of your local URIs

Absolute URIs are not affected

Only workaround is to put the documents in a (sub)site with the Publishing Feature disabled.
