My company would like to move from DropBox to SharePoint Online (locally sync'd) for our everyday shared file storage. My Excel VBA programs create files and subfolders. In Dropbox, this isn't an issue because the file path is "local" and the Dropbox sync service just "picks up" the new files and folders.

The problem I run into when trying to run these programs from the local SharePoint Online sync is that the file path is the "web URI" to the file. Has anyone else tackled this issue of creating or modifying files and folders in the local sync for Sharepoint Online?

Is there a way to find the "local path" so I can operate locally and let the file sync do the work?
