Change autosave path?

Question

Hi, 
 Is it possible to change the autosave path? It currently automatically points to \...\documents, which is a folder that is automatically monitored by onedrive (which setting I would prefer to keep), but the result is that onedrive keeps filling up with autosaves (which it also automatically deletes, which is good). It does not actually seem to be affecting the speed of my internet connection or system and is not causing errors, but I would prefer to point everything in studio to the same place (i.e. not under documents). 
 Thanks, 
 Olly

 It means copying the full path, this one: C:\Users\%username%\Documents\Studio 2021\Autosave. 
 You can do it like this: 
 
 And paste it (Ctrl+V) in a different folder, that you know is local and not linked to a cloud drive. 
 Hope it helps?

Here is the answer our team got from RWS support: 
 "There is currently no option to change the Autosave folder path. 
 
 We raised a request 00872042 for the dev team to change this path and it will be fixed within the next week for the Trados Studio 2024 upcoming CU1 update. 
 We also asked for this to be included in Trados Studio 2022 but we do not have a timeline available now. 
 
 Let me know if this helps or if you require further assistance."

 Remove the Studio folder from OneDrive and all problems will be gone.

 I guess the solutions are these: 
 
 upgrade to 2024 
 wait for the work that is planned for 2022 
 put a patch on your flat tyre and drive home 
 
 No amount of complaining will speed this up I'm afraid. I wish we did have a magic wand but we don't.

Hi Olly Pekelharing , 
 You can move the default location of the "autosave" to a different location if you take the whole path: C:\Users\%username%\Documents\Studio 2021\Autosave. 
 Please see some smart workaround in this article: https://gateway.sdl.com/apex/communityknowledge?articleName=000017192
