Hello!
I created a Renaming File Macro from scratch that I love dearly.
It may not be the most pretty code, but it works so well for desktop files.

There's a piece of this process that I haven't automated and would like to.
This involves downloading files from SharePoint to the desktop, renaming them with this Macro, then uploading them back to SharePoint.

I would like to simply paste the Path from SharePoint instead of the Desktop Path to rename files directly on SharePoint itself.
When I paste a path from SharePoint into Cell A5 currently the code doesn't work.

Any input is greatly appreciated!
