Where your local data lives
What the desktop app keeps on disk, and how to move it.
When work runs on your machine, some of it lives on your machine: Studio project files, local blobs, and the runtime's own working data.
Moving it
You can relocate the storage root — onto a larger disk, or out of a synced folder that should not be syncing a database.
- Open device storage settings in the desktop app.
- Choose the new location.
- Let it move and confirm it reports the new root.
You're done when the app reports the new root and work still runs.
Relocating requires the device-management capability, because it moves where a workspace's local data physically sits — not something a member should do to someone else's machine.
Gotchas
- Do not point local storage at a cloud-synced folder. A sync client rewriting database files underneath a running process corrupts them. This is the single most common way to damage a local install.
- Moving storage does not move your workspace. Central data stays central.
