Dropbox sharing for Designers - links to images in Illustrator ai files

- Hey 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,
We have dropbox and want to use Adobe Indesign to place links for the same account on multiple Mac OS machines. When placing links into Indesign the path links to the users home directory which is different for each user. We need a method of placing links from the same path.

That's not something Dropbox can solve for you. Most applications, when linking to external files, use the file's full path, which will be different for each user when those files are stored in their user profile. Dropbox has no control over that.
The only solution involving Dropbox is to have every user move their Dropbox folder to a common location, such as the root of your system drive, so all links are identical, but that will no longer be possible on Macs since Apple now requires the Dropbox folder to be located in the user's CloudStorage folder.
