Bruce,
Your solution is what I did as well. I installed Dropbox on both computers right in the root directory (C:\Dropbox). Any time you have a path in the ‘user’ area such as My Documents, more often than not the full path will be different on the two machines. I don’t remember what the Dropbox install default path is, but I suspect it is ‘My Documents’.

I discovered the problem was that the PATH name was now different that the other computer. I moved the dropbox folder so the PATH to it was the same on both computers, and that solved the problem. Another poster suggested a setting in Legacy 8, but I haven't tried that as I solved my problem by moving the dropbox folder so the PATH was the same on both computers.

For years (I now don't want to change) I have kept all my family files in a folder called "MY GENEALOGY" and then in sub-folders under each family name and using WINDOWS 7. They were in C:\users\Ron's Office\My Genealogy\(sub folders) I moved this folder to my Dropbox folder: C:\users\Ron's Office\Dropbox\My Genealogy\(sub folders) And as I expected the link to all my pictures, etc in Legacy are broken. I tried using "Legacy Media Relinker" and while is searches my C:\ drive it doesn't search my new "Dropbox" folder. I am able to relink them manually, one at a time, but with close to a thousand files this is very time consuming. I have searched the Legacy User Group archives but haven't found a solution to my problem. Does anyone have a solution; what am I doing wrong?
