Hello,

We had this issue and found this is happening only some times if you go back and open some of your files you probably notice some of them has the web path instead of local path.

Here is the solution, they just need to wait until Excel shows Saved, if they close the file in Saving mode local path will be saved.

Also user need to wait until they see the green check mark on their Synced file before reopening the file.

Hope this resolve your issue 🙂

Alireza Rahimifarid Thanks for your reply. Strange that when I try to link a recent file, it always takes the web path. As you can see on the screenshots below.

    Alireza Rahimifarid Correctly saved or not, the strange thing is that at recent files, it always follows the web path. The problem is, when I search in the Explorer, select a file to link to, it always takes the local path. To avoid this, I can open a file, so it's shown in recent files, and link it that way. But that is not the way our customers wants to work.
