Hello,

I understand you're looking to define the autosave location in Trados Studio. Unfortunately, Trados Studio does not provide an option to change the autosave location. The autosave files are stored in a default location which is typically your local AppData folder.

Here's how you can find the autosave files:

Step 1: Open the Run dialog box by pressing the Windows key + R.

Step 2: Type "%appdata%" (without quotes) and press Enter. This will open the AppData\Roaming folder.

Step 3: Navigate to the SDL folder.

Step 4: Open the Trados Studio folder.

Step 5: Inside this folder, you'll find the 'AutoSave' folder where all autosave files are stored.

Remember, these autosave files are meant to be a safety net in case of software crashes or unexpected shutdowns. They are not meant to replace regular saving of your work.

I hope this helps! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Best regards,

Is it possible to change the Autosave location? 

Our whole team is getting an error linked to this location "Access to the path...is denied".

Thank you in anticipation,

According to the Help article, I should be able to define it in the Project Settings, but that is not correct.

Which Help article?

It's not possible to change this.  However, the recent problems we have seen related to this (I have also had this problem) were related to changes Microsoft made to OneDrive.  The CU1 update to Trados Studio 2024:

• We’ve changed the previous default AutoSave folder location to %AppData%/Trados/Trados Studio/<studio-version>/AutoSave to prevent both folder synchronization issues and access issues sometimes occurring when working with projects hosted on OneDrive. (CRQ-39839)

If you're working with 2024 then I'd recommend you upgrade to CU1.
