Dropbox file path shared with other computers

Dropbox puts a JSON file on your hard drive that gives the path used by Dropbox. Most people probably just use the default but you can change it. It looks like you changed yours; normally it would be down one more level

C:\Users\eugene_9787\Dropbox\

This function will return the path, which you can incorporate into your existing code:

There would be multiple lines in the JSON file but I don't know what that looks like, since my situation is not the same. Can you attach your JSON file for a look? Check here:

C:\Users\Jeff\AppData\Local\Dropbox\info.json

Use your name on your computer where I showed Jeff. Note that AppData is a hidden folder. If you don't have Windows Explorer configured to show hidden folders you will have to update it.

If it's not there then open a cmd window and type

echo %LOCALAPPDATA%

to see where the folder is.

Here is a quick and dirty fix that will work to extract only the business path. A more elegant version would ask you which one you want to use:
