- We need the old Dropbox clients (installed to "C:\My Dropbox") to work with new script\app paths ("C:\Dropbox").
- We need the new Dropbox clients (installed to "C:\Dropbox") to work with the old paths ("C:\My Dropbox").
How do we do this? One way is to use symbolic links. This will create a reference link from one directory to another... similar to a shortcut. Here's a workaround for each scenario:
1. The old Dropbox client is already installed at "C:\My Dropbox". Now we need to create a symbolic link that connects "C:\Dropbox" to "C:\My Dropbox":
Make sure c:\dropbox doesn't exist. Then from a command prompt type:
mklink /J "c:\Dropbox" "c:\My Dropbox"
2. For systems with the new Dropbox client installed "C:\Dropbox":
Make sure c:\my dropbox doesn't exist. Then from a command prompt type:
mklink /J "c:\My Dropbox" "c:\Dropbox"
The other way to fix this problems is to edit all your scripts with the new path change, and also reinstall/reconfigure all your broken apps. ssssshhhhhhiiiiii
