How to set folder where to find files to look for Agenda

How to set folder where to find files to look for Agenda

[Renato Pontefice]

Hi,
With this expression on my init.el, I would set that Agenda view, looks for this folder and sub folder that reside on a cloud to look for informarion that need to be shown on Agenda view.
------------------------------------
(setq org-agenda-files
      '( "\Volumes\renato07"
	 ))
———————————————————

But it seems it does not happens

In the folder renato 07 I have many .org file that can be part of Agenda, but if I press C-a a I see an empty agenda, like if the files are not considerate

Do I need a final / (slash)?

Thank you

Renato

You do not need a final slash.

Note that your directory path looks strange. What OS are you on?

Try M-: (find-file "\Volumes\renato07") <RET>
If it does not work (Emacs does not open dired listing), the path should
be corrected. Try M-x dired and navigate to your desired directory. The
correct path should be displayed at the beginning of dired buffer.
