Make DropBox more accessible with Windows SUBST command...

Did you know that you can "Make DropBox more accessible with Windows SUBST command..."

 

Add the DropBox windows App and then use the SUBST command from the CMD prompt to make your DropBox folders more accessible:

 

My DropBox work folder is:

C:\Users\MyWindowsUserName\Dropbox\Work

 

So, I type:

CMD

SUBST W: "C:\Users\MyWindowsUserName\Dropbox\Work"

EXIT

 

and now I can just access my work folders and files as:

 

W:\

 

Like this:

 

W:\Job1\WordFile.doc

 

instead of typing all this:

 

C:\Users\MyWindowsUserName\Dropbox\Work\Job1\WordFile.doc

 

You can also see what SUBST (substitutions) you've created by typing:

CMD

SUBST

PAUSE

EXIT

 

I hope this helps you!
