At any given moment you can change the location of your local archive by pressing the 3-bars menu in the top right hand corner of the application. This will lead you to the [settings](../settings-the-3-bars-menu) page which has several tabs. In the general tab (default tab when opening the settings menu), you will find the path to your current application folder.

Pushing the update application folder button will open a pop-up window of your file explorer.

You can either cancel the action, which will lead you back to the general settings page or you can select a new location of your application folder.

All files that are stored in the current application will move to the new folder.&#x20;
