Hi all,

Just ran out of space on my hard drive and usually have this problem when getting ready to go on a trip!

Needed to change the location of the downloads folder to my storage drive, but there was no native way to do it. Please add this functionality.

For those interested, there is a work around…see this thread:

Cheers!

Simple idea, I’d like to be able to set the download location on my Windows client. Even something similar to the Storage Location in the android app would be a plus. Setting a specific directory would be even better.

A common theme seems to be “there is a Symbolic Link work around” with the reply “I’m not interested in doing a Symbolic Link”.

I can think of many reasons this would be useful- Data partition vs boot partition, external media, better control of what drive is undergoing large amount of writes, easier management of backup set sizes.

Linking in a few of the top search results I found on this topic. Seems to crop up fairly regularly.

I hate to vote for feature that was there - and then removed… but apparently this is the only way stuff gets done here…

I will add that there should be different local download locations for Music, Movies, Photos etc.
