sorry we couldn't find c:XXX is it possible it was moved renamed or deleted One Drive?
yesterday we transferred our files from Dropbox to Teams/OneDrive while opening some excel files, the message appeared and after two hours it solved automatically! but now I have the same issue with different files in a different path!
and it's hard for me to change the path of files/folders. any proper solution for this, please!
There are 2 things that could be happening here:-
1. The file path is too long - there was a recent updated but it is still restricted to 260 characters. (Most Likely). This is a hard limit and you will have to re-organise the file structure. No way around it.
2. There are linked excel files within the file you are trying to open that need relinking or removing.

I have changed some paths it's worked,
I want to reduce the number of characters (folders name/path), as by deleting the duplicated name of the channels and folders in OneDrive/Teams, is there any way to avoid duplicate name?

A bit late, but...
There is a way around the path limitation...
You can map an unused drive letter to the last folder in the long path that is below the limit.Example:
Long path: C:\some\very\long\path\assume\250characters\somefilename.ext (assume this would be over 260)
Trick: (in CLI) Subst P: "C:\some\very\long\path\assume\"
New path: P:\250characters\somefilename.ext
Then, if needed: (in CLI) Subst P: /D
Hope this helps (even if it's been long)
FYI I fixed subject message by going: Options, addins, Manage Excel addins, Go, Uncheck the offending entity, Ok, Ok, etc.
Exit Excel, go back in, issue resolved.
