Virtual Box runs on Windows 10.
A network drive is attached (e.g. z:\ ->
fileserver\projects\myproject)
The OVA image for import is stored as z:\mytest.ova
When import is tried (GUI, VBoxManage.exe), the OVA can't be accessed:
(VERR_PATH_NOT_FOUND). Result Code: VBOX_E_IPRT_ERROR (0X80BB0005) Component: ApplianceWrap Interface: IAppliance {86a98347-7619-41aa-aece-b21ac5c1a7e6}
This error is raised in the GUI on Windows 10 when the OVA is selected via File > Import Appliance ... > File Selection Box (...the selected OVA) > Next

Try to use the UNC path (starting with two backslashes) instead of the drive letter. Does it work then?

When I manually type the UNC path
\\fileserver\...\mytest.ova
in the "File:" input field the import is possible. So it only fails when the connected share is selected via file selection dialog box and assigned drive letter (e.g. z:\...\mytest.ova).
The OVAs are accessible via Windows File Explorer (copy etc.). It is not an issue with directory permissions.
