Toggling between a Mac and PC using Dropbox/SugarSync [message #1126552]

Hello-

I use a cloud program to store my projects. At work I use a PC and at home I use a mac. I store my files in the cloud. Currenly its SugarSync, inside the magic briefcase.

When I work on the PC then switch to the mac, i get this error message:
(this is in regards to the location of the SDK, not recognizing the
windows style path)

index.php/fa/16402/0/

Vice Versa when I switch back to the PC from the mac:

Is there a way to have a path that is comaptable on both machines or some way to hardcode the path location to the specific machine so I no longer have to toggle the SDK location each time I switch over?

Thanks
J

As a general note, workspaces aren't designed to be shared across
computers. However, projects are designed to be shared. If you share
anything make sure it is only projects. The Eclipse platform has a
mechanism for creating linked resources
(Windows->Preferences->General->Linked Resources I think?) so that paths
can be made relative to a variable. You set the location of the
variable in each workspace.

That being said, you are asking about an Android SDK. The Android tools
run on the Eclipse platform, but are developed by Google. I have no idea
whether Google has incorporated this feature in the development tools.
This forum doesn't have Android experts, so your best bet is to locate
the resources that Google provides for the Android SDK support.
