> Person A is working on the file on their computer the path to the data would be (Mac OSX) /Users/PersonA/Dropbox/Project/data.csv  However, to Person B the path would be /Users/PersonB/Dropbox/data.csv  I'm looking for a way to keep the path to data.csv universal and independent of who is actually using the file.  That's why I was looking at the "shareable link" feature on Dropbox.


just store the path as "~/Users/PersonB/Dropbox/data.csv" works for everyone
