Postman and working with external files from your operating system

This is more a note to self than blog post, but I’m sure someone will find out this post very helpful. So have you ever had a situation that after running requests locally it was working but when using run collection it was not? Sometimes this is because you want to add external CSV file as a data. In Postman, you have another option to fully enable files from external sources. Firstly, go to Settings then enable Read files outside working directory and try to run it again. This should fix the issue for good.
