Transitioning a local project with linked views to BIMcloud.

I am currently working with a set of ArchiCAD projects that are stored on our company's Dropbox server (solo .pln files). My established workflow heavily relies on linking detail standards via layouts ('Link Drawing To') to others views from a master source .pln file into the layout book of a host .pln file. This works perfectly fine as we all access the files via the synchronised Dropbox folder paths. This results with key details and standards linked into project files that can be set to manual update, speeds up the refresh process, reduces the need for extra geometry inside the local project files, and keeps standards in one clean location that can be updated to suit all projects when required.

I am now moving both the host and source files off Dropbox and onto our company's dedicated BIMcloud environment to begin Teamwork operations. When I share the host file on BIMcloud, will the the links to the source views (which were originally pointing to the Dropbox paths) break for my colleagues? I'm assuming the centralised BIMcloud environment will not recognise the original Dropbox file paths.

My intention is to transition this entire workflow to the BIMcloud environment without having to manually redefine every single drawing link using a completely different method. We have spent loads of time getting these files connected and very keen not to re-link 100 or so views into the layouts!

Is there an official GRAPHISOFT workflow for migrating this specific "Link Drawing To" structure from a Dropbox/local setup to BIMcloud Teamwork?
What is the least disruptive way to repath these links within the BIMcloud environment so they work for all users centrally?
Do both the host and source .pln files simply need to be shared as separate Teamwork projects on the same server for the pathing to resolve correctly?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!
