# location of CollectEarth files

Asked by jinkaizhang on 2017-11-03

By default, all the CollectEarth survey files are put user the the folder like:
C:\Users\jinkai.zhang\AppData\Roaming\CollectEarth.

Is it possible to change the location to somewhere else?

Thanks,

Jinkai

Dear Jinkai,

As of now the location cannot be changed.

What is the reason you need to change it for?

I need to set up several computers for the training purpose, but i don't have the administrator rights to access other users's account folder.  It will be more convenient  if i could put the sampling point file (geo-coordinates) somewhere other than the user account.

Thanks,

Jinkai
