Hello, I have just upgraded my SDL Trados Studio Freelance 2014 to 2017. Now, working within 2017, all my files are saved in my SDL 2014 folder. How to correct it?

Hi Thierry,
As I said, the choice of where to put your files is yours entirely. If you choose the use the defaults then this is where they will be placed and they will be in different locations for 2014 compared to 2017. This is just the way it works. If you organise your folders so you save your projects into a location of your own choosing, or if you migrate your projects when you upgrade then you won't have this discrepancy. Maybe this article will be useful for you:
multifarious.filkin.com/.../
I'd like to see a migration option built into the tool, but there isn't one. So you have to make the conscious decision to do it yourself.
The version of sdlxliff has nothing to do with this. You may well find you can't save target from a project created in 2014 when using 2017, and vice versa. But this is something else and nothing to do with locations of projects.
As a general rule though I would not share projects between two different versions of Studio if I owned them both. Make a decision and choose one as the master (2017 makes sense) and then just share the sdlxliff files for editing if you really want to.
Regards
Paul
