Finally got rid of that OneDrive. Essentially, it sucked up my files, but then wanted a monthly subscription to "add more space", because I think it starts with 5gb, but also to even let me access the "cloud" storage. Every time the darn thing sucked away my Desktop, and even files I manually stored in "Documents". Now, that's tricky because Windows has 2 paths to store: User, which duh, I thought was right, and Public, which is where the DIM wants to go ----unless you have the OneDrive. That adds yet another 2 paths, plus some other thing I never figured out. A nother forum user told me how to turn off OneDrive. It's pretty easy, if you know where to look. You will find not many people are aware of this exasperating business. I don't use my phone to do digital graphics, so I don't need everything on the cloud. I have 2 1 terabytes drives, which will work whether the Cloud is working or not. You will have to look carefully at the 2 options for path in the DIM. I had to set it 3 times before I got it right. Here's why. Apparently DAZ versions 1-3 and maybe early ones of 4 saved to "My Library" but now the default is "My DAZ Library". It is not easy to unravel. I did a full recover on my machine, but that let the OneDrive start sucking up files before I could change it. So I have Genesis Essentials 2-3, but Genesis 1 is still furshlinger. It is "stored" on a tempory path. Why? I don't know, I used DIM to uninstall, reinstall, so I feel your pain. Turn that darn OneDrive off if you want more control over your content storage.
