Hey DeKristof, thanks for the nudge here.

Would you mind sending us some screenshots of what you see for the macros failing? Especially if you're getting some kind of error, it would be really helpful for us to have a visual.

Also, to confirm what Rich mentioned in his reply above, the location of the file shouldn't change, so if this is something you see on your end, please include a screenshot of that too.

And lastly, you are in fact using the Dropbox desktop app, right? If so, are the files in question set to "available offline" or "online-only"?
