Reference Path Help

Hello, me and my team are using Maya for our project. We have a workspace shared through Microsoft Onedrive and have been uploading and working through it. Recently we started to reference models and textures to our scene, however, because the reference editor uses pathing that travels through the user directory path (C:\User\onedrive\project…) the reference files break if anyone but the initial creator tries to open the scene. Is there a workaround or solution we are missing? Thank you.

So it looks like maya might support environment variables in the reference file paths:

If that's the case you could create an environment variable on everyone's machine that would point to their local path to the onedrive project, and use that in the reference filepath?  Maybe?
