Unless I'm misunderstanding, it sounds like you're storing data that your package requires in an external location. You need to put your data into your R package and then access that data with system.file(package = "<pkgname>", <path within package>)
Sometimes people will make a folder inst/extdata inside their R package directory and then dump the data that the package requires in there. You can see this link for more information: https://cran.r-project.org/doc/FAQ/R-exts.html#Data-in-packages So, if you move your files into your R package, you should have a directory inst/extdata/data-raw, and files inst/extdata/metadata, inst/extdata/textgrid, and inst/extdata/README.md When your package is installed, the contents of inst are unpacked into the install directory. So, to refer to files after the package has been installed and loaded, use: system.file(package = "<pkgname>", "extdata", "data-raw", <more path>) system.file(package = "<pkgname>", "extdata", "metadata") ...
