I need to have a unique file path. How do I achieve that?
I'm looking for a dropbox location like:
//computerName/shareName/directoryName/
everything I have seen shows the dropbox like http://www.dropbox.com/sh/..........
Thanks for your h...

So we would like to have an address like: //computerName/shareName/directoryName/ so its not discrete for each user to embed into the application.
That's not possible by default as every user will have their Dropbox folder located in a different location, typically within their user profile, and there is no variable set which includes that location.
The path to their folder is stored in a JSON file within their user profile. On Windows, it would be C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Dropbox\info.json, so you could pull that information programmatically for each user.
The Dropbox folder is also not shared so there is no UNC path to it, though I suppose there's nothing stopping you from sharing it for each user. If you take that route, make sure you set the security correctly so you're not giving other people access.

Dropbox StaffHi hillmw6612, thanks for posting here!
It's not entirely clear to me, if you wish for the computer path to change, or the website path itself. Can you clarify?
Do you use a shared folder, or a shared link on your end? If you also want to walk me through the process you follow, and what you wish to achieve, I'd appreciate it.
Keep me posted!
Megan,
The dropbox location is like: http://www.dropbox.com/sh/..........
but in my app I need a location like: //computerName/shareName/directoryName/
Is this possible to get?
Mike
