All links and connections, established in the past, are now broken.

Create a symbolic link that points C:\AB\Dropbox (MUSTER) to C:\AB\MUSTER Dropbox.

We are experiencing the same issue, our head file is preceded with the name of each user, so it's different for everyone. As a result, when one user works on and saves a file, the link will be broken for the next person who opens it as the filepath has the previous user's name associated. We are having to relink every time a file is opened (using Vectorworks and Adobe Indesign software). 

 

Our office is split between Windows and Mac users - is the symbolic link applicable to both, and would it work for this issue?
