    <description>&lt;P&gt;Did you know that you can "Make DropBox more accessible with Windows SUBST command..."&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Add the DropBox windows App and then use the SUBST command from the CMD prompt to make your DropBox folders more accessible:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;My DropBox work folder is:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;C:\Users\MyWindowsUserName\Dropbox\Work&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;So, I type:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;CMD&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;SUBST W: "C:\Users\MyWindowsUserName\Dropbox\Work"&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;EXIT&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;and now I can just access my work folders and files as:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;W:\&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Like this:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;W:\Job1\WordFile.doc&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;instead of typing all this:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;C:\Users\MyWindowsUserName\Dropbox\Work\Job1\WordFile.doc&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;You can also see what SUBST (substitutions) you've created by typing:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;CMD&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;SUBST&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;PAUSE&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;EXIT&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I hope this helps you!&lt;/P&gt;</description>
