I have a program I have been running on a PC, which opens a folder to look for files to use for data analysis. The folder is located under a dropfox folder synced to my computer. I just got a new Mac to use for data analysis, and I cannot figure out how to change the code to open the folder off of my Mac. Any suggestions as to format the code to get it to work off of this folder on my Mac?
The code that works on my PC is: C:\Users\mcdannald\Dropbox (McDannald Lab)\Data\RZ Data

Can you post the code that works on the PC?

It will depend on where the Dropbox folder is located on your Mac. But, if you used the default, I think it will be something like
/Users/mcdannald/Dropbox (McDannald Lab)/Data/RZ Data
[Notice that the slashes go the opposite direction on a Mac.]
If that does not work, try using Finder to find the folder, right-click on it, and then click "Get Info". The listing under "Where" should identify the folder location.
