Your data and media files and web pages can be anywhere you want them. Default is in c:\<user name>\Documents\Legacy Family Tree\
Everything else in the Documents\Legacy Family Tree\folder has to be there.... it can't be moved. That's where the program will look for the _AppData and other files and if it's moved, then it will just be recreated on c:\. Y our media files can be on the hard drive and not in the OneDrive folder. Sincerely, Sherry Technical Support Legacy Family Tree On Mon, May 23, 2016 at 11:20 AM, Brian L.
