Just trying to establish how this will affect the current working practices of our studio...

 

So at the moment all team members have their DropBox folder located at Macintosh HD > Users > Shared > Studio DropBox

 

This means we can use software like InDesign that creates absolute paths to images etc, and that file path is never affected by a particular persons Mac user account, because it never features in the file path.

 

Presumably that is not going to work going forward as ~/Library/CloudStorage will be with the Mac user account?

Is there any solution to locate dropbox elsewhere yet?
