Desktop Connector path generation tool

Desktop Connector path generation tool

Being that Desktop connector file paths in File Explorer are unique to Workspace (user profile by default), when sharing file/folder locations with team members by copying paths in address bar (or right-clicking and copying path), the address does not work for other team members (unless everyone's workspace is set to the same location somewhere not in user profile).

Replacing the Desktop Connector Workspace location with "Autodesk Docs" does make the path universal and usable to others on the project team, however it requires the manual modification to the path after it's pasted.

 

It would be great if the Autodesk Desktop Connector right-click menu had a tool to generate a pastable path that had the Autodesk Docs prefix instead of the Workspace path. 

 

Default path copied from file explorer address bar:

C:\Users\<username>\DC\ACCDocs\<hub>\<project>\Project Files\<folder>\...

 

Desired path copied from proposed Autodesk Desktop Connector tool right-click menu:

Autodesk Docs\<hub>\<project>\Project Files\<folder>\...
