try put these 2 Excel files in a shared directory that is accessible for all your users.
It's my experience that you can't.
If either Excel or Access has the file opened, at the best the next application (Excel or Access) can gain read-only access.

Then you must find another way to set this up.
Have in mind please, that Excel in its core is a single user application. The shared feature is somewhat half-hearted, and the on-line version (Office 365) is a completely different animal behind the scene.

Access does not play well with others and will not share a file that is already opened - period.
If you have to import this data while others have the file opened, you can use FSO to copy the file to a temp folder where you will have complete control. You can then link to the file and do your thing. At the end, delete the copy.

Yes. An Access database with tables (called and backend ) can be linked to multiple frontends - the Access application with forms, reports, etc. - one copy for each user.
