Gary,
I have my hard drive partitioned into a C and a D drive. I keep programs
and operating system on C and data on D.
I have moved my Documents folder, etc from C to D. You need to do this
properly
So my Legacy settings are at
D:\Documents\Legacy Family Tree\_AppData\
It's that _AppData folder that is locked to the Windows recognised
Documents folder. But as you see, I have mine on my D drive. When
you're using Legacy, you can easily tell which is the recognised folder
as at least files in Documents\Legacy Family Tree\_AppData\usr\ are
updated every time you use Legacy.
The Documents folder is usually by default at
C:\Users\<yourusername>\Documents
though sometimes the Windows recognised folder is found by people in
OneDrive - I'm not sure what setting causes that.
Right click on it and choose properties and then use the Location tab to
move it.

You can store your Legacy data file and associated media files
anywhere you like. They don't have to stay in the default location.
I keep mine in a Dropbox folder.
Note that if you delete the default folders, they may be recreated
when Legacy needs to use them, and you may lose some settings changes
you've made along the way. There is a hidden folder in the Legacy
Family Tree folder which may not be visible to you, depending on the
settings on your computer (this is a Windows setting, not Legacy).
If you want to move your data and media files, please read this
article from Legacy Support -

I have two physical HD's on my computer. I try to keep my "C" drive
for the operation system and use the 2nd physical HD for all other
working files, photos, documents etc etc.
I notice in the LOCATIONS tab in customizing the default path(s) for
Legacy are as follows:
C:\Legacy Genealogy Families\Data
C:\Legacy Genealogy Families\Media
Can these locations be changed to a similar path on my "D" drive and
Legacy still function properly with regards to backups, synchronizing
with another computer using DROPBOX, SUGARSYNC or other syncing programs?
