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!
