Re: Creating shortcuts within a Dropbox folder without .ink files

Hi,

Thx for your answer but I don't expect you tell me that I don't need shortcuts. The trick that is proposed can overcome the problem in some situations but not in mine. I do need shortcut that display the file on the local directory of Dropbox.

Regards, Fred.

    Just came to this page after trying to Google the solution, to confirm that this feature should be in the next Dropbox update!

    Shortcuts were designed for an important, time-saving purpose on PCs. Dropbox can't be a cloud-based replacement of that service without it.

     

     Please undo the "Solved" comment on this post. This problem is not solved even after trying the recommendations. Qubit's response is a good workaround, but you should be able to create links that are active even if the file path changes, just like if you link a Dropbox file on other programs.
