The share idea is pretty good. what he means is to create a file share, like on a network, but on each of your own PCs. Then you mount that share as another drive letter.
This is a little dangerous - a simpler idea is to use subst. Subst will create a new drive letter for any given path - essentially creating an alias for your location. You issue the following command: c:>subst z: "c:\users\username1\Documents\My Dropbox\MLO\achive.ml on the first PC. On the second: c:>subst z: "C:\Users\differentusername\Documents\My Dropbox\mlo" Then you tell MLO that your ML file is Z:\archive.ml. Problem solved. The share idea is just a variant on this - instead of using subst, he is saying share out c:\users\username1\Documents\My Dropbox\MLO \achive.ml - then mount the share on your own PC. Dangerous because sharing out a directory full of personal data is not the wisest thing in the world, particularly for someone who has to ask for more explanation of the idea than was already provided.
