Is there a function to navigate to a specific folder ? (the equivalent of clicking the 3 dots button and nivigate to it).

I usually put the folder as working directory and click on go to working directory. I am looking for a direct command, and without being forced to set it as working directory.

Thanks in advance

Maybe you should create RStudio projects and get all the files there, so you won't need to set a working directory:

  • Thanks for your answer. I quitted using the project approach because it keeps giving me an error while editing the scripts (because the project is on dropbox). – Ghassany Dec 26 '19 at 10:59
  • What error were you getting, that shouldn't be a problem? – Ben G Dec 26 '19 at 15:18

While working inside a project that is saved on dropbox or onedrive the following error keeps appearing. Something like (word by word translation) : The process cannot access the file because the file is used by another process.
