Cannot add Trusted Location in Excel 2019 to network subfolder

Trying to add following network folder: \\10.1.10.2\D_Drive\Media

However, I get the "the path you have entered cannot be used as a Trusted Location for security reasons. Choose another location or a specific folder."

I have already checked the "Allow Trusted Locations on my network..." box, exited and returned to this dialogue.

I need to have this as a trusted location so links in one of my documents can update from another (but in the same folder on the network). It is safe because it is on my network and I need to find a way to override this. I am not a fool and can take care of my own security.

Answer

You may Designate the location as a Trusted site

1) Open start menu and look for Internet Options

2) Go to Security

3) Trusted Sites

4) Sites

5) Add the drive (you can add just the mapped drive letter, and it will convert it to UNC, or just the ip of the host)
