Hi RMA Team, We have a terrible terrible bug that makes working on shared files really hard. Context: We all work from a synced-shared drive that’s part of Dropbox for Business. Each user and each computer would have a different looking path to this folder based on their Windows username and in wh…

hi RMA Team, just checking if this problem Gustavo described above is being worked on?? Igor

I’m unable to repeat the problem. Could you be very specific what you mean by “Virtual drives”? I originally thought you must have meant “Mapped network drive”, but you are mapping your F: drive to a path on D: - not a UNC path. So it can’t be that…and anyway, I can’t repeat it with my mapped dr…

OK - he’s what I’ve figure out so far: It would appear that you are using the ancient MSDOS command “subst” to re-map your Dropbox folders to a drive letter. I imagine you watched this: [Mapping a drive letter to dropbox folder] With this workflow, I can repeat the bug, and I will no…

[image] andy: net use f: “\localhost\d$\Dropbox…\projects\test_project_folder” Almost. You need two backslashes at the start → \\localhost\c$\Users....

I have added a workaround to V7 for the subst issue. The bug is here: https://mcneel.myjetbrains.com/youtrack/issue/RH-58500 I’m not going to add this to V6 because it is too close to the core of the texture functionality - it needs plenty of field testing.

Hi all, @andy you are correct we use the “subst F: “folderpath”” the reason we use that uncool 1982 approach is because sometimes the path is NOT in the userfolder. In a few laptops that have single SSD Dropbox does live in the user folder. In other laptops and all desktops with multiple SSDs they …

“Map drive” and “net use” are the same thing. One is the UI term, the other is the command line.
