Dropbox sharing for Designers - links to images in Illustrator ai files
I have noticed a problem with opening Illustrator ai files in dropbox. If I link all pictures and open later the same file everything works perfectly. If I open an ai file created by someone else, ma...
- 3 years agoHey bananasplit, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.
It sounds like the links you're referring to are relative links and you might be better off using absolute links instead.
I won't be able to offer any help with that though as it falls outside of our remit.
That said, I'm not aware of a way to achieve what you had in mind, but I'll leave this thread open in case another user on the Community has something to offer here.
Let me know if you have any other questions in the meantime.

Hi Rich,
I am having the same issue and my team and I are both on Macs. I understand what you’re saying needs to be done, but I was wondering if you could explain how to actually do this on Mac.
Are you saying that both team members need to create a new user under “system preferences” in their respective Macs and make sure they name them the same. Let’s say we both name the new user “DB”. Then do we both designate under “Sync” within the Dropbox app that our Dropbox folder’s location is in the new user folder on Mac that we both created and named DB?

Hi demiberryman, technically, that could work, assuming you're only ever going to access the files on a Mac.
You don't need to create a new user, you could move the Dropbox folder itself to another generic location which isn't dependent on usernames.
Assuming you're using shared folders, make sure that the folders aren't renamed after sharing them, since this wouldn't change the shared folder name for everyone.
If you need any more details, feel free to message back!
