Hi!

I'm encountering the error shown in the subject while trying to create a library . the path i'm plugging in seems to be correct to me. i'm kind of stuck now because i need to create this library to move forward so i'd appreciate some help.

Path:

libname pg1 "C:\Users\aminb\Dropbox\My PC (LAPTOP-1LAU2UF4)\Documents\SASUniversitEdition\myfolders\EPG1V2";

Thanks,

Your SAS University Edition runs within a VM. Any file paths you're using must be as seen/available from within the VM.

From How do I create my own SAS library?

When you are using the SAS University Edition, any libraries that you create must be assigned to a shared folder. You access your shared folder with this pathname: /folders/myfolders/. Always use '/' in the directory path, even in Windows operating environments.

This short YouTube Video explains what you need to do.
