    getting the fiepath to document in dropbox


    I've got a folder on my desktop which contains certain scripts. I need to get the file path from that folder, to a file in dropbox.

    I've already tried this without success :"C:\Users\myname\Documents\Dropbox\filename"

    (This is the file path I get when I click Shift and right-click on the destination document).

    Any advice? Thanks!

    :)

  2. Can't change default storage settings in windows 10

    No problem, you can simply use DropBox the exact same way. For example, if you want to set Windows so that your "Documents" folder is stored inside DropBox:

    • Right-click Documents folder
    • On the location tab, click Move and set it to a place inside your DropBox (I suggest inside a folder called "Documents" that is inside the "DropBox" folder)

    Now your Documents folder itself will be stored inside dropbox and kept in sync.

  4. getting the fiepath to document in dropbox

    Just to clarify, when you shift-click->"copy as path" on a file in your Dropbox you get "C:\Users\myname\Documents\Dropbox\filename"? I believe the default Dropbox location is c:\users\myname\Dropbox.

    But when you run a (batch?) script it says it can't find the file?

    What happens if you open a command prompt and do "dir C:\Users\myname\Documents\Dropbox\filename"?
