OK, found this setting in Sdl.ProjectApi.xml and changed accordingly.

But how the heck did Studio know that on a freshly installed laptop?

How can I prevent Studio from using the Documents folder on OneDrive?

Hi Jerzy Czopik ,

As OneDrive appears to be a recurring topic (especially syncing issues)- with Windows 10 I have done some digging.

It  appears that OneDrive is actually the DEFAULT save location (out of the box) for files and documents.

Therefore, Studio it would seem, picks up these Windows default settings (will try and get confirmation on this).

These links are perhaps useful (also to others with similar issues)

Hi Steve Whale

Thank you for your detailed answer.

TBH I am not a fan of all these online cloud memories. OneDrive or similar has its advantages for saving pictures taken with my mobile or for keeping some information I may need when on the road and have them accessible with my mobile, but is completely useless for me in terms of work. I keep all my files in a very complicated (or sophisticated, depends on the point of view) files and folder structure, which is easy to maintain.

Next time I will then first install Studio and only then activate any cloud services.
