Can I change the location of the file for the Script of the Illustrator?

Is it possible to change the situation where the looks of illustrator for scripts, or is it possible to add a location?

Yes, easy... use a junction ntfs (windows) or a symbolic link (mac). I can confirm this works on Windows and should be also on Mac OS.

On a window with CS6 machine, the process would be:

1. make a folder inside your dropbox for scripts, for example "C:\Users\Matt\Dropbox\Illustrator Scripts" (Matt as your username)

2. rename the folder of original scripts for "Scripts.old" or similar, it is located in "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS6 (64 Bit) \Presets\en_GB' (where CS6 and en_GB correspond to your version and locale)

3. run the prompt has administrator rights

4. change in Illustrator presets folder, for example "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS6 (64 Bit) \Presets\en_GB"

5. create the point of junction, for example MKLINK /j "Scripts", "C:\Users\Matt\Dropbox\Illustrator Scripts"

6. the root of the menu Illustrator scripts will now be Scripts C:\Users\Matt\Dropbox\Illustrator

The process should be very similar on mac.
