I am currently designing my RStudio - Dropbox - Mardown/Knitter/Wordpress - Github workflow. One problem is that working on multiple machines with different version of Windows means I somehow need to tell R where my Dropbox folder is located.
I used to set the working directory at the beginning of my R scripts but it became tedious to change the path all the time. The solution might be to add definition of 'dropbox.folder.path' variable to .Rprofile files. Or there is a hard way - to write a script detecting Dropbox location automatically.
