Hey. I use Nextcloud on Windows with the Windows Desktop Client. When I install it on the Laptop, the file-Folder (where the files sync into) is routed on C: (Main Partition). I would like to rout it on D: because of too less storage. How can I do this? I can’t find an option to give it a new place. If I just copy the nextcloudfolder from C: it says there are files open in Nextcloud, so it couldn’t copy. Thanks for any help! Kind regards, Jakob ---

You need to stop the client first, and don’t forget to fix the paths in the config file: [https://doc.owncloud.org/desktop/latest/advancedusage.html#configuration-file](https://doc.owncloud.org/desktop/latest/advancedusage.html#configuration-file) ---
