After the Dropbox upgrade to the team accounts, we've lost all of our alias/shortcuts in our shared folders. After reading their suggestions, they basically said that we need to recreate all of the shortcuts again and switch to a relative file path, if available. I've tried to look into this some more but my knowledge basically extends to: right-click and select "Make alias".
Now, the way we use alias is that we're linking to the same exact folder but another file. For example, multiple items might use the same image (think a white t-shirt for S, M, L, and XL). In order to avoid having to save four identical images in the folder, I was making alias to the original. This worked great because when we needed to update the image, I only had to do it once and the aliases would just follow. Since the shortcut is basically in the same folder as the original, I felt like it should be easy to make an alias that says, "hey, just look in this same folder for this name" so that no matter what the folder is called or where it's located, it should be able to find the right file. (For context, aliases were great because we could link the image shortcut in Adobe InDesign and it was smart enough to know to use the original instead of the shortcut.)
Is there a way to do the relative path without getting super complicated about this? I just don't want to make a bunch of new aliases and then it breaks again when Dropbox decides it wants to change things up again.
