Can excel Vba search dropbox for a folder or document?

[tonywatsonhelp]

Hi Everyone,
I have a problem with dropbox
we have a number of users that have access to my dropbox account but i'm getting problems with them opening other documents in dropbox using VBA with my filepath.

the code "

Environ$("UserProfile")"
and the first part "

Fold1 = "Dropbox (ALL)" " work great.
but for some reason Dropbox can give different file paths to the same Document.
for example
Mine is
​

Environ$("UserProfile")\

Dropbox (ALL)\

Admin\

Caps\Master File.xlsm

but this does not work for others.

so I was wondering, is there a way to say "Find this Document" I whatever folder its in or where it is in my dropbox?
there will only ever be one Document with at name?

Please help with any suggestions as at the moment everytime we add a new user I have to add a new filepath.

below is the code i'm using fir me but I'm happy to try any ideas?

thanks

Tony​

Sub Example_open1()

Fold1 = "Dropbox (ALL)"
Fold2 = "Admin"
Fold3 = "Caps"
WBName = "Master File"

Folds = Fold1 & "\" & Fold2 & "\" & Fold3 & WBName
fd = Environ$("UserProfile") & "\" & Folds & ".xlsm"
Workbooks.Open (fd)
End Sub

Even if we assume the file is located on a share drive, if there is anything in the path that you use to accesst the file that is unique to your computer and not available to other users, then the other users would not be able to use the same path to access the file. But if the complete file path of drive, directory, and subdirectories are all on only the share drive server,and all users have the same drive designation for the share drive, then they should be able to access the file using the same path.
